Sleep is one of the most important things in the world. Why not have the agents work while you sleep?

Even better, why not have the agents sleep for you?

EDIT: for those who say this is not realistic, I've had Claude sleep for 10 hours in just 30 seconds. Saved me an entire night.

If his brain is the thing malfunctioning, then his brain may not be capable of (1) correctly diagnosing the problem as a lack of sleep or (2) honestly prescribing "do things to get better sleep" as the fix.

People in psychosis don't exactly weigh all of the options with a level head. He may not recognize that he has "cyber psychosis" or that his lack of sleep is a bad thing.

That's probably exactly why. Some of my latest nights have been attempting to prepare a long-running overnight task for an agent.

It was productive, but as you say, it's dangerous to gamble with sleep.
