With this heat, I find an idea of a safe and temp-regulated bath-bed tempting. (sh.itjust.works)

But I'm sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn't something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?

Things growing in the water would be an issue. And highly treated water will damage your skin. There'd also be a chance of drowning every night. You could mitigate with a dry suit but that kinda ruins the point.

A risk, really? Who wouldn't wake up coughing if they accidentally inhaled a mouthful of water!?

People who take Ambien, Lunesta, or trazodone. Anyone who drinks too much and doesn't realize it. Anyone on opiates for pain.

Hmm... You make a very drown-y point.
