This sounds like an excellently exploitable thing that capitalism will quickly make mandatory.
Some billionaires will build a business around this.
Abduct children and lock them up in underground dungeon, feed them sleeping pills until they are dead.
Essentially what human has already done to pigs and cows.
Extend on my view (my imagination):
-
Parents will buy machines that forces children into sleep, until maybe 2 or 3 years old, human mind development also delayed by 1 year.
-
Death penalty replaced by donating sleep to government officials for lifetime.
-
Jail time replaced by sleeping machine, you (from criminals point of view) just instantly grows older after court judgement
-
Corporations buys time from market, average worker works 100 hours a week, they only sleeps 14 hours a week.
-
Who doesn’t want to sleep buys time from black market.

BRB gonna write a new TV series based on this
Partially disabled from a broken neck and back 2/26/14. I would be the prescription sleep vampire. I sleep like an undercooked rotisserie chicken every night. Like I need a fitted sheet with extra retainers or I will unintentionally rip it off every night
🤣 me too
I wonder if they would erect the same barriers to donating sleep that don’t allow me to donate blood even though I want to.
I wonder if one has a tendency to nightmares (PTSD, for example), would that be how?
I guess the question is how parasitic is this transfer - do ya get the dreams and everything else as well or just the benefits of some sleep?
Hell yeah I’d do it! I could stand to sleep an extra 2 or 3 hours every night and then just give it all away. Then I’d show up to every single work function with a super smug “I donate sleep” Red Cross T-shirt.
I would be a genuine super sleeper. They would know me by name at the sleep donation center.
I will take all the sleep that I can get.
