Q Make sure to read the entire section in the chapter on Sleep. A scientist has invented a pill that can replace sleep. It is organic, cheap, and the only side effect is the elimination of dreaming. People taking it would recover approximately 25 years’ worth of time that would otherwise be spent sleeping. Do you foresee any problems resulting from releasing this pill? Be sure to include information that you learned about sleep (from the textbook) in your response. After responding make sure to respond to at least one other post. Always be polite and respectful when responding to another classmate's post.

It is a given that a side affect of no sleep would be the eradication of dreams. If there is no sleep then there automatically would not be any dreams. While the lack of dreams is not the main concern, it is the overall eradication of sleep which is the main concern. Sleep is a very fundamental bodily function which helps in restoring all of the major functions of body. It helps in the restoration of bodily functions, maintains the hormonal balance, and helps the body heal (Speilmann, Jenkins & Lovvett, 2021). Such is the importance of sleep.
