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.
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.
Company doing company things.
Can confirm, experienced many exhausting months of rebound REM after becoming sober from alcohol
Shit sucks
Have narcolepsy, can confirm. The body is rested, but the brain so sleepy.
Just wait till they start hallucinating, that'll teach 'em. :/

I'm scared of the future
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.
I know this is a joke, but that's just robots with a flesh body inside for no reason
Working Class: "We want wfh! No more offices!"
Corporate psychos:"Hmmm, we can work with that."
I would actually love to work in my sleep if that meant I get to live the rest of my life while awake
Lol they're not going to do that
yeah I know lol
Every technology that increased productivity could have saved us labor time. Instead, it just increased the profits of the employers.
Are we really going to go from "The Simpsons predicted this" to "Rick and Morty predicted this"? Please let's not.
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.
A fight-or-flight triggering high-pitched noise plays every night starting at 21:00
The only way to make it imperceptible to you is to plug yourself into the work server
And if you sleep quiet quit, you'll be banned from the server for day.
And if you point out that it's a bit fucked, many of your neighbors will tell you that your employer is actually doing a good thing because they make the noise stop, so stop complaining
Wait, I wanted the Brave New World timeline.
"The company has already raised more than $1 million to develop the headband and is reportedly working with one of the designers of Elon Musk’s Neuralink device."
Oh good, so there's a chance you might die from it too.
As long as i would wake up refreshed and dont remember what I worked on fuck yeah i would work in my sleep.
I would sleep-work for 3x12 hours and enjoy the rest of the week.
Ha… you’d sleep work 56 hours a week and work another 40… and like it… or else…
My boss makes a dollar and I just a dime, that's why I sleep on company t... wait...
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??
Drug addicts and insomniacs: hmm, I'm unproductive as usual, yet it feels different
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.
Not another. If this works, I'm actually gonna commit arson so this doesn't continue to exist.
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.
Next up: New tech allows bosses to check if employees are working in their lucid dreams or having wild sex
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.
That’s nothing new. If you’re learning an instrument, doing so in your dreams actually helps. Of course, in order to control your dreams, you need to learn lucid dreaming first.
It was only a matter of time until someone tried to commercialize TCMP.
This is the plot of a Rick and Morty episode
"Sorry I didn't get anything done last night, boss. That thing was happening where I can't move my limbs in my dream."
