A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT — WHAT IF
What if nobody needed to sleep?
If sleep vanished, we’d gain hours—but would we feel more free, or just find more ways to stay busy?
At first, the extra hours feel like a superpower. People finish projects, explore the city at night, and spend more time with friends. But days begin to blur together. Without the quiet pause of sleep, minds grow tired in new ways, and work starts expanding into every empty hour. Maybe the real question isn’t what we’d do with all that time, but how we’d choose to protect it.
A SANITY-POWERED THOUGHT EXPERIMENT
Follow the ripple.
One impossible change. Three moments in a world learning to live with it.
The first day
Cities light up after midnight. People celebrate their new free hours—until families, hospitals, and transit workers have to decide whose clock sets the day.
