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?

don’t have one. but i heard someone cite a study where people who lucid dream a lot are generally less rested even after sleeping 8+ hours. from that i drew the conclusion that lucid dreaming is basically dreaming, but more awake.

The source is called sleep science. You should look into it.

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. :/

Nah, give it 38k-ish years or so, I’m sure it will be fine by then.

The company making those had to change their name from “Working Stiffs” after an unfortunate misunderstanding about the nature of their business.

There was a time when this was considered utopia. Replace all workforce with robots, so all humans can just pursue their desires at a leisurely pace, making life hopefully overall more enjoyable.

Every technology that increased productivity could have saved us labor time. Instead, it just increased the profits of the employers.

There’s an episode from Rick and Morty where the whole main cast gets their asleep selves to do annoying tasks they don’t want to do while they’re awake, to nefarious consequences.

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.
