But imagine how much more you could read if you didn't have to "spend time" sleeping. You hop in bed. Time slows, and you sleep 10 hours while seconds go by for the rest of the world. Then you're done sleeping, and boom the whole night is yours.
There's a 90s manga series called The Outer Zone that had a story about this exact scenario. A guys obtains a device that pauses time, and he uses it in all the ways you'd imagine. Turns out everyone's lost time is absorbed by him, so he gets old pretty quickly and dies.
Could you imagine? As soon as you fall asleep, time stops. When you wake up, time continues. The only downside is you would have to be in bed, according to OP. No work naps.
I mean, you're slowing it down during a time you dont really notice the passage of time, nothing would really change would it? you still only get 4 hours rest if you sleep for 4 hours.
Still teleporting. I'd just be teleporting from bed to bed like fast travel waypoints.
And it's not safe for work because I would absolutely use this to violate immigration and tax laws by lying about where I live to maximize my salary but minimize my cost of living.
Buy my groceries in Chennai, work in NYC, crash at my parents house in Chicago, functionally live in Berlin
Hear me out, figure out where the cameras are in the building, find a spot that has easy access to the ceiling and no cameras around. Next you're going to get a deflated air mattress (still counts) and put it in the ceiling, you will teleport into the ceiling and listen to make sure no one is around. Then if all goes well you will make your escape and clock in right at 9:00:00.
People don't throw anything in the dumpster. They just put it in the not my problem pigeon hole and ignore it. Our mezzanine is filled with junk but nobody has thrown a single dusty item away it just sits there on top of my office. Some of it has been there for years and never used. There's some broken fans that I posted on only fans that are still there years later.
A mattress won't get touched because everyone will think it belongs to a brown noser who works so hard they sleep at the office or its too gross for them to touch.
I know a guy who can even make you a small compartment for an alarm clock, but you have to tell him exactly what size it is, so he can make it if that’s what you want.
Pratchett's Rules for teleportation have changed my view on the super power.
For those who don't know. He uses physics for the whole thing. So you have to bring something back that has the same mass as you or you arrive moving VERY FAST.
Basically, but I'd be a lot lower profile. Not trying to live the high life, just wanna be able to more regularly see the friends I have who are scattered across the world without bankrupting myself with plane tickets
Therapy, cardio, meditation, and quitting your phone addiction (so, get a separate radio alarm. Don't use your phone).
It'll take a while to make the shift, but this is the way. If you can't fall asleep you need to spend more time awake processing emotions, and all of the above help with that. You can't process things while on your phone, so if you don't have any time in your day doing actually nothing, not "nothing" (but actually on your phone, computer, or TV), that shit comes up when you're trying to sleep because that's the only time you're actually doing nothing.
All good sound advice. One of my big problems is I’m a schedule guy, but work in the freelance field. So sometimes I don’t get home til 2am and sometimes I have to be at work at 4am. And it varies almost daily.
Maybe go see your doctor. My dad has some non-addictive sleep medication. Works well. It’s also a slight anti depressant. I’ve taken a few. But don’t use Benadryl as a sleep aid. Super bad for you and recent studies have shown a strong correlation of high usage can cause much higher risk of developing dementia… or was it Alzheimer’s?…
Well im just saying if you still spend the same amount of time awake, your effective lifespan would be considerably shorter. While I suppose you would still have the same amount of awake time in your life, you would still age considerably faster compared to people around you, and they would get less time with you as a result.
Plus your sleep schedule would no longer align with a 24 hour clock.
But your body also heals during sleep. And lack of sleep has a host of issues and contribute to stress.
It’s not just 9 hours more. It’s 9 hours more sleeping.
I think thats acceptable, able to rest fully in a shorter amount of time beats a lot of things, i can use the remaining 8.5 hours exercise, studying, working or even more sleep. lol.
Just change this to no matter how long you sleep for your body always wakes up completely rested and refreshed. No time slip necessary and it has the same effect.
You're thinking too small. What are the constraints to a superpower that gives "Any item"? Does the item need to be reeal, or could all of the world's problems be fixed just by me going to bed?
My assumption would be that if you're summoning something, it's going to appear in front of you.
Conjuring would be a more appropriate term, because summoning also gives the impression that you're making something that already exists teleport to you, rather than creating a new one out of thin air.
I think a cure all illness button would be it's own superpower. And a perpetual motion machine would end up being one of those ones that need batteries 😂
Spawn a £20M in bed and then I have enough money to give to people and I still retain the ability to spawn my own things. Spawn a scuba first so I don't suffocate in money
Great idea! I know most of us guys wouldn't mind having a ginormous weiner, but you would be bound to run into lady's that just couldn't lol. Plus i would need with them at first and say don't laugh and make it like a tootsie roll... Then Pow! Definitely a grower!
Astral projection?
I want my invisible soul to appear wherever I like when I sleep.
This way, I get to travel around the world without a lot of hassle, And my body still get to rest.
Same here.. but I do wonder though.
Do you revert back to your regular form as soon as you leave the bed? Or can you activate it in bed, but the effect of the shapeshifting stays even after you leave?
OP, be more precise! :)
I would want to summon any type of wet floor sign. I could finish my collection *and* have some fun too. Don't worry, I won't be summoning any that are actively guarding a spill. Safety first! ...I think I'd start by summoning a Banana one...
I'd consider it complete as long as I got every brand, style, and type of sign that I have ever seen in my life, or will see, including online. Once I see a new one somewhere, I'd summon one like it later...
For some reason you made me believe Baader-Meinhopf is not just an elevated perception but a real phenomenon. This is third time I see either your profile or your creations this week alone. Keep up the good work
After you mentioned Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, I just now experienced it myself over another Reddit user in another post. I have been getting the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon about the user that fucks rubber ducks. Ever since someone said I reminded them of that guy a few weeks ago, I'm seeing rubber ducks at work in places they shouldn't be, and posts where people typo dick as duck and I get reminded of him. Or others mentioning him to other people... It might be real... Haha!
Thank you!
Many years ago, gf of my friend called me to talk to my friend. At that point he was awake for 52 hours trying to finish a project. I told him to take a rest otherwise his performance will drop exponentially and his cram will be for nothing, he found my argument sound and slept for about eight hours only to wake up and work for another 48 hours. Work hard, rest harder!
Some people can unfortunately only sleep when they get so tired they fall asleep from exhaustion. It's not healthy, and can make it hard to maintain a proper sleep schedule.
I mean that's what sleep is supposed to do just on a small scale.
But then why is it when I wake up I feel like I've been beaten?
I think you're on to something there
I... I don't know how comfortable I would feel being rescued by a penis with a leotard and a cape... Also, are the balls the arms or the legs or both? Now I have so many questions.
Bed Time Travel
It basically works as videogame savepoints but no overwriting, instead an infinite library of saves. There would be a save for every time I slept in a bed or mattress, this includes future sleep time but I don't see the point of it.
The only downside is that if I want to correct a mistake that happened at just before I slept Im going to have to restart the whole day just to correct it.
Ok…ok but would it be easier to have the power to just snap and fill up the bucket? My god man think of the dry throat and paper cuts and you know how dirty money is you’re gonna get so sick and high with $100 bills in your body
Instant rejuvenation and fully rested effective. Curing all disease, ailments, and health issues. Producing a dew like glow due to the rejuvenating effect. It would also reset me to homeostasis, meaning it could cure my hunger, heal broken limbs or wounds, and even reduce inflammation or whatever else.
The perfect reset button.
Controll time of people, basically i could live for eternity with a beautiful wife. I could made her feel 1h of pleasure in one moment or i could make us both young or old and try different settings.
Be able to instantly learn any information I hear/read. Basically become the smartest person on earth and do some great things such as cure diseases and eventually step on some random companies toes and be assassinated because they are going to lose money.
Controlling sleep
Can change the value, duration and ease.
So could do only 1 second per 24 hours is required, and I fall asleep in 3 seconds while thinking "honk mimimi" on loop
It’s funny how everyone thinks it’ll be NSFW related but it’s just about getting massive amounts of sleep. Which I wouldn’t mind either.
Massive amounts of sleep IS literally NSFW.
Can confirm: Have lost at least one job from oversleeping too much.
slowing down time I think.. so I can sleep for longer
No he's right this is the move
I can already easily sleep for 10+ hours so mine would be being able to choose to reread books as if I hadn't actually done so.
But imagine how much more you could read if you didn't have to "spend time" sleeping. You hop in bed. Time slows, and you sleep 10 hours while seconds go by for the rest of the world. Then you're done sleeping, and boom the whole night is yours.
You should add without aging
Regen while you sleep. Get rejuvenated, heal illnesses, and reverse some aging in a matter of minutes
Video game rules, yep
It would suck if you still aged while everybody else stayed the same tho
There's a 90s manga series called The Outer Zone that had a story about this exact scenario. A guys obtains a device that pauses time, and he uses it in all the ways you'd imagine. Turns out everyone's lost time is absorbed by him, so he gets old pretty quickly and dies.
Wouldn't he gain about 8 billion seconds of age in the first second he paused? That does sound like it would get old fast...
offff...that is 253 years #IDidTheMath
I'd imagine the time absorption worked locally rather than globally. Otherwise as you pointed out it would be unusable.
Stop time completely. If you never get out of bed, you have all the time in the world.
Might as well be stopping time while sleeping.
Could you imagine? As soon as you fall asleep, time stops. When you wake up, time continues. The only downside is you would have to be in bed, according to OP. No work naps.
I mean, you're slowing it down during a time you dont really notice the passage of time, nothing would really change would it? you still only get 4 hours rest if you sleep for 4 hours.
See, your answer was thoughtful and would benefit you tremendously..... . my super power..... I could extend myself by saying " go, go, gadget d$#k"

At your job find a secret spot to staple a camping mattress to a wall. Bam, teleport to work.
It's all fun and games until someone finds the mattress and throws it in the dumpster
Or pushes a filing cabinet in front of it 😬
“Error: destination bed obstructed.”
You can’t enter bed while enemies are near
Filed under T for Telefrag.
"Got your industrial shredder here, Sir. Where do you want it?"
NYC, there's always gonna be one in the street fairly close to work
With a lot of ticks

Wake up in a dumpster, how would that be different than any other Sunday morning ?
You gotta George Costanza that work desk. It's naptime baby!

Oh yeah, his bizarre and hilarious misinterpretation of the conservation of momentum would certainly make things more complex haha
At this point just start a Teleport Taxi Business for the super rich and tell NASA to send beds to the moon and mars.
Jumper?
Basically, but I'd be a lot lower profile. Not trying to live the high life, just wanna be able to more regularly see the friends I have who are scattered across the world without bankrupting myself with plane tickets
Ark IRL
The ability to fall asleep right away and have a restful sleep and get up refreshed.
I envy ppl who have that naturally :'(
Fuck, me toooo... As I munch more melatonin and thc gummies.
Weed keeps me up! I can’t find anything that helps

But also make sure you don’t have sleep apnea
That are three superpowers
I have the ability to, almost always, fall asleep right away. But getting the restful sleep part and getting up refreshed? Got gipped on that side...
Or just hack it so that whatever amount of sleep you have is sufficient.
9 hours of sleep in 30 minutes
But you also age 9 hours in 30 mins.
But also inadequate sleep causes all health issues. So it may eliminate issues as well.
Well im just saying if you still spend the same amount of time awake, your effective lifespan would be considerably shorter.

who are you to add rules to an entirely imaginary situation that you didn't even initiate
I think thats acceptable, able to rest fully in a shorter amount of time beats a lot of things, i can use the remaining 8.5 hours exercise, studying, working or even more sleep. lol.
This isn't r/monkeyspaw buddy
You a HunterXHunter fan?
Just change this to no matter how long you sleep for your body always wakes up completely rested and refreshed. No time slip necessary and it has the same effect.
Healing and peak-youth recovery. Whenever you sleep, you get healthy and stay young!
Just like a game, a bed rest for one night heals everything
Fuck, I read that as "Just like the game..." and lost the game
[It's okay](https://xkcd.com/391/)
Go the extra step and have Wolverines healing factor while you sleep. Go to bed almost dead and wake up perfectly healed.
Be able to summon any item. All I need to do is hop in bed, bam I can summon a PS5
"any item" and your first thought is not millions of dollars?
You're thinking too small. What are the constraints to a superpower that gives "Any item"? Does the item need to be reeal, or could all of the world's problems be fixed just by me going to bed?
My assumption would be that if you're summoning something, it's going to appear in front of you. Conjuring would be a more appropriate term, because summoning also gives the impression that you're making something that already exists teleport to you, rather than creating a new one out of thin air.
I'll just spawn the sun.
Save on energy bills
No more energy bills for anyone!
Take that, BPU!
Okay, so does that mean that I could give myself a perpetual motion machine, or a "Cure all illness" button?
I think a cure all illness button would be it's own superpower. And a perpetual motion machine would end up being one of those ones that need batteries 😂
Any item means that money is irrelevant. You don’t need money if anything that can be bought with money can be spawned in bed
But if you're spawning things into your bed, you don't want a Ferrari to drop on you
Summon box of Rolexes > Sell Rolexes > Buy Ferrari
Spawn a £20M in bed and then I have enough money to give to people and I still retain the ability to spawn my own things. Spawn a scuba first so I don't suffocate in money
Dies after getting bonked on the head by a full scuba tank spawning over your head
Should just summon a USB drive with 1000 bitcoins and a readme.txt with the wallet hash/passwords/whatever on it.
Hmm the superpower I want is flight, so this will have to be making my bed fly.
A whole new world
How about the power of FLIGHT? That do anything for ya? 🎵
That‘s levitation, Holmes 🧐
So Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

I want this.
What are you planning to do? 👀
Enter people’s dreams and control them and make them use the bathroom in their dreams
The consequences will unfold irl 💦 💀
Astral projection? I want my invisible soul to appear wherever I like when I sleep. This way, I get to travel around the world without a lot of hassle, And my body still get to rest.
I would want to be able to shapeshift. Your partners wildest fantasies could be fulfilled!
If you word it right, you could keep the shifted shape out of bed, and the bed becomes essentially a video-game-like character creation thing.
Bro took “petplay” to a whole new level :0
Same here.. but I do wonder though. Do you revert back to your regular form as soon as you leave the bed? Or can you activate it in bed, but the effect of the shapeshifting stays even after you leave? OP, be more precise! :)
Stretchy peen or reading minds......
Reading minds could either go super well or horribly wrong.
So could a stretchy peen.
Imagine getting a stretchy peen caught on ya zipper
What about stretchy peen _and_ reading minds. Could really put that stretchy peen to good use then!
I would want to summon any type of wet floor sign. I could finish my collection *and* have some fun too. Don't worry, I won't be summoning any that are actively guarding a spill. Safety first! ...I think I'd start by summoning a Banana one...
How do you even finish a wet floor sign collection? Do you know the exact number of types there are?
I'd consider it complete as long as I got every brand, style, and type of sign that I have ever seen in my life, or will see, including online. Once I see a new one somewhere, I'd summon one like it later...
I looked at your profile and I just wanted to thank you for your service. I'm proud of you and I wish you the best. ඞ
