In Episode 2, we uncover the brutal and often lethal consequences of ignoring our internal rhythms. We explore the shocking 1894 discovery by forgotten pioneer Marie de Manacéine that sleep deprivation is more deadly than starvation, and dive into Patrick and Gilbert's landmark 1896 human study that provided the first quantitative map of a mind systematically dismantling itself under fatigue.

In this first episode, we journey from ancient speculation to the groundbreaking 19th-century experiments that shattered myths and established the existence of our internal 24-hour biological clock. We explore the meticulous work of Gierse, the coordinated rhythms discovered by Baerensprung, and the dramatic self-experiment by Mosso that proved our internal clocks can't be ignored.
