Short spoken segment from a YouTube video by Rich Bello warning that gradual reductions in nightly sleep (example: 9→8→7→6 hours) are dangerous. The speaker uses the frog-in-warming-water analogy to argue people fail to notice incremental sleep loss until it causes severe, potentially deadly, effects.

Anybody ever see the kind of the frog analogy with the frogs in warm water? He's sitting in warm water. It's fine. Just chilling out in warm water. Hey, this is great, right? But then as you turn up the heat, it gets hotter and hotter. He doesn't jump out. He can jump out at any time he wants, but he doesn't realize it till it's too late, and then he's boiled. Water boils dead. Right? That's what's happening to us with sleep. We're going from 9 hours, 8 hours, 7 hours, 6 hours, and the statistics are deadly.
