Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of quantified REM cycles.

I'm your friend David Pierce, and I am playing Batman Arkham Shadow on the Quest 3.

here to do two things on the show. First,

we're going to talk to V's song about kind of a year of experiments in quantified sleep that

she's been doing. She's tried some gadgets. She's tried some more expensive gadgets. She's tried
