The average respiratory rate for adults is 12-20 breathes per minute, which is the rate that the sleep-indicator light fades in and out on most Apple laptops. Older models such as the Macintosh PowerBook, however, use a blinking LED indicator, with discrete pulses in one-second intervals.
If you’ve ever looked closely at a notebook from a competing vendor, you’ll recall how strange the pacing of the sleep indicator light felt, if one was even present.
