    so if you didn’t know, humans need sleep. and lucid dreams are more being awake than being asleep neurologically speaking.

    so this company wants people to basically stay awake 24/7. sure, that’s gonna work out just fine. no problems here.

      “lucid dreams are more being awake than being asleep neurologically speaking.”

      Could you provide a source for this claim?

      People I think forget that REM is Rapid Eye Movement sleep which is the part where your brain is actually rewriting itself and setting new pathways but doesn’t let your body feel well rested.

      We need a mix of all things and we have already done studies that people can actually keep awake and working with intermittent resting with no actual deep sleep let people generate muscle mass and stay healthy right before their brain goes insane from the lack of true sleep.

      This sounds so dangerous and antithetical to a long lasting healthy work force if this tries to get normalized that it will likely cause a forced evolution of our species by the people that can’t maintain that dying off.

      Have narcolepsy, can confirm. The body is rested, but the brain so sleepy.

      Just wait till they start hallucinating, that’ll teach 'em. :/

    Working in your sleep sounds like a good way to think you’ve finished your work when in reality you’ve just written some random shit into documents.

      But it will have a autowork function that will do your dream work for you up until you quit watching it work. Then it will crash you into a parked semi truck. Provides once and for all that you can die in real life if you die in a dream. Patient pending

        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, 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?

    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.

    Sleep already does that. They’ve researched it and found we make better decisions when we sleep on it. Problem is companies think that’s too slow and have to make decisions in 5 seconds.

    And if you’d take the blade north to south, they’d find a way to make you work even then. Not being able to escape work even in your sleep is hellish.
