    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.

      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. :/

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

      Could you provide a source for this claim?

    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.

    “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

    The only way to make it imperceptible to you is to plug yourself into the work server

    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.

    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.

      Has to be a scam. Good on them, though. If private equity firms and venture capitalists have all the money, take em for all you can get.
