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.

Care to share your agent setup and harness? I've been trying to do something similar but my Claude only sleeps for about 2 hours before waking up.

I use a supervising agent, so if my sleeping agent has insomnia, the supervisor puts it back to sleep. It's helpful to have the supervisor put on relaxing music or read it something boring [1].

I can't tell if posts like this are parody or serious

Even if they're parody (this one is), there are enough people now who take them seriously and put them into practice. I have never seen any other tech that surfaces that amount of idiocy.

		Why put an agent to sleep? Store their memory in a file and kill the agent Resume it later.

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.

If he was good at it, he would be sleeping more because you would be doing less work.. The fact that he's sleeping less means he's not as good as optimizing his agents as he thinks he is.

		Or, he is operating more agents by staying awake longer. Don’t make me defend Garry Tan…

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.
