Asteriod mining, by developing the necessary spacefaring capabilities, might also improve our security against asteriod-earth collisions. If they identify a rock headed our way, wouldn’t governments pay a pretty penny to have them deflect it?
A loud burst of noise to jolt you awake in the morning can be very energizing.
Apparently, there is some evidence that music, especially electronic music, can stimulate dopamine synthesis:
>>>”Two scientists from Japan in a study conducted in 2004, analyzed how music can affect rats’ bodies. Other than discovering that music can lower blood pressure and help with hypertension, music can also increase dopamine synthesis in the brain (7). Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure and can reinforce certain behaviors due to the pleasure produced. “<<< http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/3914
So setting your morning alarm to Skrillex at a high volume might do the trick. I really have no idea actually, I’m just guessing.
I have to agree that it may be a few decades before we mine asteroids (with more funding it could be sooner). It took European nations many decades to establish a presence in the New World.
Regarding the sleep article, while those devices might be helpful, I think they are another example of a way in which humans are becoming more dependent on machines for their health.
Only 2.5% can multitask? Hard to believe.

The results of this study might be something people would want to know about their future spouse before they get married.
And yet society encourages us to multitask almost constantly.

Space could be the same.
