*** 2050: The Odyssey of Sleep ***
Some 300,000 years ago, a man awakens in a cave in the Ardèche region. Daybreak, the fire has gone out. He leaps toward his spear and scans his surroundings, his mind alert, a condition of his survival. Did he ever ask himself if he had slept "well"?
2050, 3:00 a.m., a Silicon Valley company. The augmented human is still working, his face lit by his screen. He tirelessly puts in 20-hour days.

In the immeasurable time separating these two homo sapiens, sleep has always been there. Soothing or a refuge from our anxieties, but restrictive and dangerous, sleep accompanies the world on an endless odyssey.

In a magnificent session, "Back to the Future," three exceptional speakers, including Philippe Charlier, the man who makes the dead speak, will bring us back to life the evolution of sleep in Sapiens.

What diagnostic tools will our world have in 25 years, given the speed and power of connected devices that decipher sleep? AI should finally shake up the AHI. Will CPAP still be relevant? Medio-economic impacts will be a major issue, while we are already burdened by the burden of eco-anxiety.

Last but not least, as they say in Trump's circle, what will remain of our dreams in 2050? Will we at least maintain this intimacy, or will hackers threaten to seize it too?

To better understand and better prepare ourselves, we must continue to look at what is happening elsewhere. This is what we'll be doing again this year with the "Sleep Without Borders" session, which will take us to Canada with Professor Celyne Bastien.

Communication is also galloping ahead of us with social media. Doctors aren't ready; we haven't adapted to new modes of communication. So, without wasting any more time, the Cardiosleep team has prepared a special session to close the conference, where the speaker will take you, along with his millions of followers, into the limbo of the Matrix.

Dear friends and colleagues, I wish you a wonderful journey into the future and a very successful 2025 conference!
