Prophetic is developing technology to induce lucid dreams, in which CEOs can practice for board meetings and architects can design buildings while asleep.
You know that that’s not how this works, right? The bulk of the population is paid at a rate that is just this side of starving because it’s the least that the capitalists possibly could pay them and still have people working for them. Something like this, i.e. an expansion of working hours, would mean nothing in the long term but the ability to pay workers less because “they can just supplement it with their sleep job” which will probably pay not very much either, looking at how little gig economy work really pays.
If I could earn enough while sleeping to spend my days playing games and watching Judge Judy reruns, plug me in!

Although I do love Judy, I was being facetious. Besides, I’m a short sleeper, I wouldn’t be worth much.
If we can be made to work during sleep it will never be in the detriment of working during the day.
