"Revolutionizing Work: Lucid Dream Startup Enables Engineers to Code While Asleep"

Prophetic, a startup backed by venture capital, aims to enable workers to code and work in their dreams using a headpiece called the "Halo" that induces a lucid dream state. The Halo, designed in collaboration with Card79 founder Afshin Mehin, uses focused ultrasound beams to activate the brain regions responsible for decision-making and awareness during sleep. While other devices claiming to induce lucid dreams exist, Prophetic aims to provide better control over dreams, allowing users to practice skills and explore creative problem-solving. However, skeptics argue that achieving dream control is challenging, and it requires a combination of the device and mindfulness techniques. Prophetic plans to release the Halo in spring 2025, with an estimated cost of $1,500 to $2,000 per device.

The Truth About Sleep Trackers: Expert Insights

Sleep trackers, such as wearable devices and phone-based apps, have gained popularity in recent years for their ability to collect data on sleep patterns and offer insights on sleep quality. However, experts caution that while these trackers can provide some benefits, they can also be misleading and are not a cure for sleep disorders. The accuracy of data collection can be affected by factors such as obesity, heart rhythm disorders, and skin tone. Additionally, the translation of data into consumer-friendly takeaways, such as sleep stages and overall sleep scores, may not be scientifically vetted or meaningful for individual health outcomes. Experts suggest using sleep trackers to capture long-term patterns and reinforce sleep hygiene, but caution against relying solely on numbers and scores to understand sleep.
