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.
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
"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.
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
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
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.
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.
The brain doesn't just sleep for the sake of the body, but the brain too.
Dreams are useful for problem solving issues in our personal lives, emotional regulation, and memory. You start messing with natural dreams and you will end up with a population stricken with mental health issues.
That just means you get twice as much work done. The boss man won't let you get away with less awake time because "I need you to be available in case there's a problem"
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.
Market it as a productivity tool to raise money from rando VCs, make a product that can be used by anyone for anything, I win by getting to, uh, have fun with people in my dreams.
