>and would routinely work 24 hour shifts at the hospital This is one of my fears, that we'll crack the sleep nut and then workers will be forced into double shifts gradually. Sure, it'll be done with a velvet glove as the prices of goods and real estate will go up as everyone around you works 16 hour days and their wages reflect that (or dont get fired for not doing it). The same way an affordable middle class life went from only having one breadwinner to two as women entered the workforce. I sincerely hope we have some kind of robot/automation labor revolution well before that. I'd rather build a better robot than a better human.
