Idea for a startup: Sleep pods (or, perhaps more marketable, smart beds.)
Create the perfect comfortable environment in an enclosure, constantly maintaining the temperature/oxygen/etc. that's optimized for the individual.
Artificially induce sleep to knock the user out right away or within their preferred duration.
Monitor their vitals throughout sleep.
Perhaps inject nutrients.
Fluff: Massage, choice of music/sound effects for falling asleep and on waking up, scents/aromas, an overhead screen to show pleasing scenes, maybe to create the illusion of sleeping under the stars etc.
Make it so effective that eventually the user only need to sleep once or twice every week (but of course they can always choose to sleep more often.)

- Liquix 7y agoYeah! I've often dreamed about a pill with a tiny adjustable wheel or button that you can set to knock you out for X hours and Y minutes. The problem would be finding a non-narcotic method (modified hypnogogic headset? Slightly raise CO2/CO levels?) that works reliably. Things like doxylamine succinate, melatonin, valerian affect everyone differently, and you're opening a whole nother can of worms with the allergies/dosage/legal angle. Cool idea OP
