Every new medical drug undergoes numerous trials before it reaches the market. Sometimes this takes decades. However, in the digital age, a method has been invented to test new drugs significantly faster—for instance, by conducting experiments not on real volunteers but on virtual patients. Their organs are complex mathematical models, and their diseases are computer simulations. This has become a true revolution in pharmaceuticals.

Sleep should not be considered merely a passive state of rest, as the brain can be quite active during this time. This is especially true during the rapid-eye-movement or REM sleep phase, when brain activity reaches almost the same level as during periods of wakefulness. It is in this phase that we experience our most vivid, complex, and intricate dreams. One of the factors capable of influencing the intensity, vividness, and indeed the very presence of dreams is caffeine.
