This is great, honestly.

Market it as a productivity tool to raise money from rando VCs, make a product that can be used by anyone for anything, I win by getting to, uh, have fun with people in my dreams.

If I can do half of the work in my sleep and half in the day I would. It’s like waking up and being already half done with work.

Oh honey, you think they would give you less waking work?

That just means you get twice as much work done. The boss man won’t let you get away with less awake time because “I need you to be available in case there’s a problem”

You’d just be working in your sleep and not working while you sleep. It’s lucid dreaming, not sleep walking.

The brain doesn’t just sleep for the sake of the body, but the brain too.

Dreams are useful for problem solving issues in our personal lives, emotional regulation, and memory. You start messing with natural dreams and you will end up with a population stricken with mental health issues.

I mean I rather work 8 hours in my sleep and have the rest of the day off to myself, but if such thing worked it would never be like that.

Aren’t dreams like a fraction of our sleep? You’d probably be getting a couple hours at most in an 8 hour period

Well they are creating a device that triggers and can help to control lucid dreaming… So… Uhh no this would have you dreaming that you are working for the full amount of time you are asleep basically

Unfortunately, that would not be very restful sleep.

Source: I have narcolepsy, which makes me spend way too much time in REM. In REM (where vivid dreams tend to happen), your brain activity is almost identical to being awake. Every stage of sleep is important, including REM, and without an appropriate amount you will be a zombie.

Not unless they pay for the full 96 hours.

I was thinking of a 3 night work week with same pay of course.

So, 40 hours of straight time, and 56 hours of time-and-a-half from the comfort of my bed? 124 hours of pay per week?

I’d pay off my car in 3 months, the remainder of my house in 9 months.

Why wouldn’t I like this?

Watch the TV show Severance.

Nah, that’s more like confidentiality… They still sleep after they forget they work.

I think Severance would probably be easier to sell if they can’t remember 8 hours of work each day, but still get to be awake for the next 16 hours.

It’s different, but one of the points the show wants you to think about is whether not remembering suffering is better than suffering and being in control. In that way I don’t know if I would be so certain that working during sleep without remembering would be such a good idea.

So far the show has offered more questions than answers. We’ll see.
