The main function of sleep is to recover the natural equilibrium among each nerve center. It is defined as unconsciousness from which the person can be aroused by sensory or other stimuli. It is to be distinguished from coma, which is unconsciousness from which the person cannot be aroused. There are multiple stages of sleep, from very light sleep to very deep sleep; sleep researchers divide sleep into two entirely different types of sleep that have different qualities, as follows:

(1) Slow-wave sleep, in which the brain waves are strong and of low frequency. This sleep is exceedingly restful and is associated with decreases in both peripheral vascular tone and many other vegetative functions of the body. For instance, there are 10 to 30 percent decreases in blood pressure, respiratory rate, and basal metabolic rate.

Although slow-wave sleep is frequently called “dreamless sleep,” dreamlands or sometimes even nightmares do occur during slow-wave sleep. The difference between the dreams that occur in slow-wave sleep and those that occur in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is that those of REM sleep are associated with more bodily muscle activity. Also, the dreams of slow-wave sleep are usually not remembered because consolidation of the dreams in memory does not occur.

Most sleep during each night is of the slow-wave variety; this is the deep, restful sleep that the person experiences during the first hour of sleep after having been awake for many hours. REM sleep, on the other hand, occurs in episodes that occupy about 25 percent of the sleep time in young adults; each episode normally recurs about every 90 minutes. This type of sleep is not so restful, and it is usually associated with vivid dreaming.

(2) Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in which the eyes undergo rapid movements despite the fact that the person is still asleep. In a normal night of sleep, bouts of REM sleep lasting 5 to 30 minutes usually appear on the average every 90 minutes. When the person is extremely sleepy, each bout of REM sleep is short and may even be absent. Conversely, as the person becomes more rested through the night, the durations of the REM bouts increase. REM sleep has several important characteristics:

  1. It is an active form of sleep usually associated with dreaming and active bodily muscle movements.
  2. The person is even more difficult to arouse by sensory stimuli than during deep slow-wave sleep, and yet people usually awaken spontaneously in the morning during an episode of REM sleep.
  3. Muscle tone throughout the body is exceedingly depressed, indicating strong inhibition of the spinal muscle control areas.
  4. Heart rate and respiratory rate usually become irregular, which are characteristic of the dream state.
  5. Despite the extreme inhibition of the peripheral muscles, irregular muscle movements do occur. These are in addition to the rapid movements of the eyes.
  6. The brain is highly active in REM sleep, and overall brain metabolism may be increased as much as 20 percent. The electroencephalogram (EEG) shows a pattern of brain waves similar to those that occur during wakefulness. This type of sleep is also called paradoxical sleep because it is a paradox that a person can still be asleep despite marked activity in the brain. However, the brain activity is not channeled in the proper direction for the person to be fully aware of his or her surroundings, and therefore the person is truly asleep.

The New Human Line can be aware of brain activity whether in slow-wave sleep or REM sleep. He can control dreaming, regulate body metabolism, such as blood pressure, respiratory rate and basal metabolic rate, and be fully aware of changes in the surroundings, channeling himself in the proper direction. Mr. Yuan Lin, who developed this new physiological function, named it the Function of Maintaining Wakefulness during Sleep.

To verify the New Human Line’s capability to maintain wakefulness during sleep, acetylcholine, which can affect sleep, was employed as the experimental sample in the laboratory of the Association for Human Evolution. Acetylcholine is a type of neurotransmitter that exists at the neuromuscular junction of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. After being released from axon terminals, it passes through the synaptic cleft and binds with receptors on the cell membrane of other synapses.

The effects of acetylcholine will be terminated by a kind of enzyme called “cholinesterase.” Acetylcholine acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at some synapses, but it also serves as an inhibitory neurotransmitter at other synapses. For example, parasympathetic neurons can reduce the rate of heart beat by releasing acetylcholine at the inhibitory synapse. The drug action of acetylcholine can raise the number of the REM bouts, and the change in its concentration can increase or decrease activity in some specific areas of the brain in REM sleep.

The purpose of this experiment is to verify that Mr. Yuan Lin, the New Human Line, can utilize the newly-discovered ACES and the new biological engineering techniques to activate acetylcholine and directly influence the variations in its concentration without any changes in its molecular weight, structural formula, and conformation, at 25 ℃, 1.0 atm and pH 7.0, in a confined and isolated space, with no contact with catalysts, biologically active substances, chemical substances and physical action forces, so as to control the increase or decrease in activity in some specific areas of the brain during REM sleep.

Table 1. Comparison of the absorbance between two treatments at 200 nm

It is shown from the above experiment results that there is a significant difference (p = 0.013) in the concentration between the control group and the experimental samples treated with ACES by Mr. Yuan Lin. This can prove that Mr. Yuan Lin, the New Human Line, can utilize ACES and the new biological engineering techniques to activate acetylcholine and change its concentration, increasing or reducing activity in specific areas of the brain in REM sleep.
