The new particles: Sleep and Antisleep


After minor experiments finding a weak correlation between caffeinated beverages and alertness, I believe I have discovered new elementary particles: Sleep and anti-sleep. I elaborate on their properties below.


Sleep is more strongly attracted to real matter, anti-sleep to anti-matter.
This means that real-matter objects like people are hit by more sleep particles than anti-sleep. Cats are a major source of sleep radiation- that's why they nap so much. Sleep- anti-sleep pairs travel in waves, thus causing some critters and people to be nocturnal.


The sleep-matrix can rotate a sleep particle into the antisleep eigenstate.
The physical process for this is perhaps reflection of the particles. For instance, the sun emits antisleep. The reflected light from the moon turns it into sleep. Sun glare creates a symmetric comibination of the two eigenstates, thus causing some people to fall asleep in direct sunlight and get badly sun-burned.


The sleep force which holds sleep to matter is weaker than the psychology force.
This means that a person giving out strong enough psycho-particles can thus repel sleep for a certain amount of time. There is a finite tunneling probability that causes the psycho-emitter to feel slightly tired. The sleep particles are not deflected. More accurately, they enter a spiralling orbit around the person, occasionally offset by the psychology field. However, the psycho-particle half life is significantly less than that of a sleep particle and when a sufficiently large number of psychoparticles decay, the trillions of sleep particles that it has been holding at bay will suddenly collapse in on the person and thus exhaustion takes over.
