By this pill I mean creating a chemical solution which would accelerate the processes our body undergoes while we are sleeping

30min of speed sleep would equal lets say 8 hours of normal sleep

time is money, so if we could reduce our sleeping time without losing the benefits, it can be a life changing invention..

 

is it possible?

and if it is, why can't we find it on the market?

For starters, nobody yet agrees on what all the changes are. There are several theories that sleep is required for memory organization and consolidation. Difficult to imagine how you could speed that up substantially without overheating :rolleyes:

 

Besides, who wants to work an extra 7.5 hours a day? ;)
