And.now I’m too frustrated about the state sleep deprivation has left me in to get some rest. This is the worst…..

>>154124The secret is to just sleep 8 to 10 hours every night. By sleeping properly, you remain in perfect condition and you can compress the time you spend on things drastically. By doing your best to remain at peak performance, you can perform well.

Sleep is like defragging a hard drive. The stuff that's being moved around becomes the scenery of your dreams. There's not much that can speed up the process. And if you rub a magnet on your brain then it will stop.

Don't we not even know what sleep it yet?

>>154213We probably don't really truly understand how sleep works on the exact process which occurs in the brain that causes the outcome, but we know there is a process that creates an outcome. So from there we can speculate on what it's doing. Neurons have been hypothesized and potentially proven in recent years, if memory serves correct, to have some sort of quantum functionality so until we can understand quantum we can't understand in complete detail how the brain works.

>>154214>Neurons have been hypothesized and potentially proven in recent years, if memory serves correct, to have some sort of quantum functionalityWell, yes. Electricity is a quantum phenomenon, as it's electrons that do it.

>>154213I'm pretty sure that I've heard there's been some recent brain imaging studies showing during sleep the brain does rhythmic patterns. We also know that while awake the brain steadily accumulates toxins which are flushed out during sleep . Some have hypothesized this is where "sleep debt" comes from. On the psychology side of things, I think I've heard some suggest that sleep is important for long-term memory formation. So... sleep does a lot of things!

>>154227Why? If you had the option to feel as good as you do after a good night's rest after just 10 minutes with all the health benefits, you're telling me you wouldn't take that as opposed to wasting 8-10 hours lying in a bed per night?

I'm surprised anybody on the internet is familiar with it.

>>154244People will say this and then also say that AI will take away all the jobs... If work was really in limited supply like you suggest then we'd not fret over technology affecting livelihood.
So which route do you take: jobs are in limited supply or that increased abilities to work means everyone has to work more...
No.154246
>>154245I don't think AI will take all jobs. I'm actually kind of ignoring AI at the moment because I think the discourse around it is retarded but maybe that will happen. The question is what will happen if AI takes everyone's job. Do you think they're just going to let you stay home and play video games or watch anime? You'd be lucky if they didn't contrive a way to kill useless eaters replaced by AI. But the people who do need to continue working and aren't replaced by AI will be required to work 20 hour shifts with the invention of no-sleep tech.

>>154246Well this is a scifi thread so we're talking science fiction.
Even if some of the SciFi is real.
If this happened you'd say they do some sort of popalation culling, but I say that this isn't true because suddenly everyone would be able to become a supplier of whatever they want meaning that each person would have more effort to create their own dreams. And the increased free time would mean more requirements for entertainment.
And I'd also say this culling would not happen because what are people going to do? Stop reproducing all of a sudden? Even if you killed all the poor the rich would create more people anyways to dilute the wealth
No.154248
>>154245well what is actually happening is AI hallucinating performance reports from surveillance data gathered on workers who arent even afforded piss breaks so I think the route is clear.

I flipping love sleep and will often lie in bed for an hour even if I don't fall asleep. I also regularly sleep between eight and twelve hours. No I am not depressed, I just like it a lot.
>>154214>some sort of quantum functionalityThis can mean a lot of things, mitochondria and their electron transport chain have quantum functionality as well in how it manipulates electrons to jump/tunnel from one point to another step by step. This means that literally all cells in your body use quantum functionality to stay alive, which in principle shouldn't be a surprise given that it's been gradually built up from the most basic laws of physics. We
should expect miniscule entities to be using the laws of miniscule-scale physics.

Dreams can be like amazingly immersive movies. That you mostly forget when you wake up, but the after-movie feeling is nice.
