+- rest nest :: a small EEG device you would attach to your head when
+               you go to sleep at night. ML algorithms would determine
+               your particular sleep cycles. This would mostly be an
+               alarm clock that you could give a time range, say
+               7:00AM - 7:15AM, and it would wake you up during an
+               ideal time corresponding to then end of one of your 90
+               min sleep cycles. You would feel much more rested upon
+               waking up, and would wake up faster. There might be
+               some other uses for the EEG data as well.

      image to make it have less entropy, then store the reverse of
      those operations along with the compressed simpler image as a
