should there be a machine that makes you 'fall asleep immediately'
seems weird someone hasn't invented this machinehonestly seems weird
have corporations that make sleeping pills sabotaged the invention of a device that makes you 'fall asleep immediately'
like how gm and other car companies sabotaged the electric car
have dozens of inventors been 'assassinated'
'has anyone "even" written a science fiction novel about a world in which this device exists'
almost seems like the world we exist in is a science fiction novel written by someone that exists in a world where this device exists
i imagine it being like ear muffs or something
you put the ear muffs on and 'are immediately asleep'
it should be invented by advil or even, like, google
'imagine how useful that would be'
seems like it would 'change the world' 'metaphysically' re how the printing press 'changed the world' 'physically' or something
small children would learn about it and maybe giggle uncontrollably then later in life compare and contrast it with the printing press in 5-10 page essays then later in life probably use it 3-10 times a day then later in life probably attend meetings where they discuss 'being addicted' to it then later in life probably 'set it' for 'asleep forever'
you would be able to turn a knob on the ear muffs to set how long you want to be asleep

You drew a sperm.
That's some sick perverted stuff.
If your conscience was clear you could 'fall asleep immediately'
I really liked this. or it appealed to me. think-piece like. thanks for making my brain make moments.
seems 'just like seinfeld'
It would definitely come in handy to me :)
If this device was real, could you fall asleep to death?
i think probably most people would be disappointed in this device. most people do all of their "serious thinking" when they are trying to fall asleep. escaping immediately to dreams would cause people to "accomplish" less. the world would become a happyless place, probably.
@dj unsure what your question means
have you seen Fifth Element? they have that. its a gas though.
if you want to go to sleep immediately, you have to practice going to sleep at the same time every day. It helps if you also wake up at the same time. its not something just anyone can do, i know i can't.
Tao, I consider things like this all of the time.
It's kind of like the question of "why isn't the whole plane made out of the same material as the black box?"
so many things seems so obvious, so simple. i would hope that it's kind of humbling for mankind to think about these things that we haven't yet achieved. Like, "Fuck yeah I can blow an entire country off the map!"
"But do you have trouble sleep at night?"
"Totally. All the time. Insomnia is a bitch."
dude, Alien.
asleep for a hundred years. for ever.
i enjoyed reading this
i like the stickers
i wish i didn't feel alienated by you
in which case maybe i would feel comfortable regarding sending you money
but under the circumstances i do not
seems unfortunate
jonathan safran foer novels would do this i think.
i would like that machine.
i want to tell you about my idea that i had yesterday, that no-one else has had. ever.
and i think it will make me a multi millionaire OR very sad.
I will tell you about it somewhere less conspicuous though, as i think someone will steal it.
you'll like it though. yup.
hello x
i think that's why there are so many heroin addicts, because this machine does not exist. if it existed, there would be no drug-addicts, and drug-addicts are funny, so then, the machine should not exist.
in puerto rico, i spent many days sleeping in my mother's air-conditioned room in old san juan. it was relaxing and not very boring. it takes a lot of time for me to get bored and shit.
i agree; i've had the same thought regarding 'there should be this machine'
'solidarity'
what if you are using the machine and its set for like 12 hours, but during that time a bear comes into your house to eat you, do you wake up to the bear sounds or do you get eaten because you are forced to stay asleep? seems dangerous.
what if depressed people who are afraid to kill themselves just set it to 'sleep forever' and there are masses of people who are still alive but 'asleep forever'. what do you do with those people?
maybe you would sleep better if you always had cuddles. if i made a sleeping machine it would be large and soft and cuddle you to sleep.
i think you get eaten
but advil will have advil wilderness or something where you can still be woken up by noises
the government will probably ban the 'sleep forever' setting or at least make it 'over the counter'
"advil wilderness" i love it! hilarious!
but does it work when the bear comes into your house, or only when you are out in the wilderness and a bear might eat you while you sleep?
and think of all the other "fall asleep immediately advil" varieties the marketing geniuses would think up
for example, "fall asleep immediately advil - no drool"
i'm hungry.
Dude life is fun & exciting - you are rich & succesful, you should want a machine that keeps you up all the time so you can enjoy life more - that hipster bordom & gloom is passay, like 2004-5, your stuck in the past man, have more fun, get a tattoo that says FUN AMERICA - stop livin in the past, boohoo
i think that sleeping pills work pretty well.
you could easily "sleep forever" using sleeping pills.
buy strong ones and whenever you wake up take 2-4 more and repeat that step until "forever" has happened.
Sci fi has written about this. They will have it on long distance space voyages where there needs to be a strict crew rotation.
Also, chloroform.
Also i think the 'mood organ' from Do androids dream of electric sheep? has a sleep setting.
It's 3:15am right now and I'm trying to fall asleep. Thanks for the post, felt better about my situation I s'pose.
damn, yeah. i would use this now...
sort of does seem like seinfeld dialogue... re my previous comment: 'seems "just like seinfeld"'
