Write a function that takes a list of numbers and returns the count of "increasing sequences" in the list. An "increasing sequence" is a consecutive subsequence of elements where each number is greater than or equal to the previous number.

Requirements:

• The function should identify every increasing sequence of consecutive numbers in the list.
• Each increasing sequence must consist of at least one element.
• Count each increasing sequence as a separate entity, even if it consists of only one number.

For example:

• nbr_increasing_sequences([-0.46, 2.45, -4.0, 23.7]) → 2

  • Explanation: There are two increasing sequences: [-0.46, 2.45] and [-4.0, 23.7].

• nbr_increasing_sequences([22, 1, 5, -7, 87]) → 3

  • Explanation: There are three increasing sequences: [22], [1, 5], and [-7, 87].

• nbr_increasing_sequences([9.46, 0.32, -5.37]) → 3

  • Explanation: Each element forms its own sequence as there are no consecutive increases: [9.46], [0.32], and [-5.37].

• nbr_increasing_sequences([9, 0, -5]) → 3

  • Explanation: Similar to the previous example, each element is its own sequence: [9], [0], and [-5].
