The sound of your voice can betray a lack of sleep, and researchers have identified its main alterations. These findings have given rise to an artificial intelligence program capable of identifying sleep-deprived and non-sleep-deprived subjects.

According to France's National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS, three in 10 French people aren't sleeping enough, getting less than six hours of shut-eye per night. This proportion has tripled in just 10 years. There are many causes for this, including exposure to screens, which not only cuts into sleep time but also delays people getting to sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to chronic fatigue, depression and accidents.
