Software engineer says: “Fuck off and let me have a life.”

Yeah, seriously.

This just sounds like a way to squeeze more work out of a person.

 

Work/life balance? What's that...

Well if i could work well sleeping and then live my life while awake that'd be pretty sweet.

Doubt that's what a lot of company owners would want but that is maybe the only plus side of this.

Third comment in this post about this from me, but I've done university work while lucid dreaming, solved bugs we didn't even know existed, stuff like that. I don't think you rest as much while lucid dreaming, I'm pretty sure I built up fatigue at many points in my life just due to how much lucid dreaming I was doing. I now avoid lucid dreaming, and have started losing the ability to do it frequently (which frankly is a blessing). I feel more well rested now than I did when I lucid dreamt a lot. No way this idea doesn't just leave you completely tired after a while.
