Watch Series: The Twinstitute Released in (2019) - Season 1 - Episode 2 ,airing date 2019-01-09 produced by UK, The TV Series categorized in Documentary, and content rating TV-PG with duration 30 min broadcasted as these networks BBC Two, Streamed at Putlocker & directed by Xand van Tulleken, Chris van Tulleken, Lucy Bacon. One of the biggest complaints that doctors hear is that their patients feel tired all the time. So common that it even has its own doctor's acronym: TATT. So two pairs of twins are going to find out if there is a way to combat exhaustion with two popular sleep regimes.
First, Hugo and Tina are testing the traditional technique - getting an early night. Sleep scientists call it sleep banking and the idea is that when you are tired, you are running a 'sleep debt'. To overcome tiredness you need to pay back that debt back by getting more sleep than you usually do. But it goes further than this - if you know that in the future you will feel tired, sleep banking can let you store up excess sleep for use later on. It is a controversial theory that our twins are going to test out in one of the most extreme experiments of the series - that is going to require them to stay awake for close to 36 hours.
Meanwhile their identical twin siblings will also experience the same 36-hour challenge but will be testing a technique popular with pilots, truckers and doctors - power-napping. The theory is that a 20-minute micro-sleep can give the brain sufficient rest that the onset of tiredness can be kept at bay. But will it work?
Once the challenge is over, the tests can begin. A lack of sleep affects risk taking, communication, memory, coordination and reaction time, so Chris and Xand have found the ultimate way to test everything - in a 747 simulator. All our sleep-deprived twins must attempt to land a 747 while being talked in by air-traffic control. As their tiredness levels get dangerously high, will either regime be able to combat exhaustion or will all our twins crash and burn?
Next is a story about the future of learning where Chris and Xand put their own identical twin bodies on the line to learn a new skill pitting real-world learning against the virtual world. Astronauts, engineers and even sports-stars are now training using virtual reality and it is touted a
