“Sorry I didn’t get anything done last night, boss. That thing was happening where I can’t move my limbs in my dream.”
This is absolutely a venture capital scam. The tech isn’t even there for Jetsons style recreational dreaming. No way you can make tech that will extract useful work out of dreamers any time soon.
The tech stimulates a state of lucid dreaming, and the idea here that you can work while you sleep stems from the fact that if you are aware of and in control of your dream, you can choose to work on solving complex problems in them. They’re not actually going to make you work in your sleep or even induce a dream that forces you to dream about working. Merely giving you a lucid dream and letting you control what happens.
I wouldn’t be working. I’d be exploring space and time… And riding dinosaurs.

I sleep 8h a day and have a 40h work week, so I wake up in the morning and am done for the day, right? Right??
