Zero gravity sleep

[Ice wolf]

This is a [random] concept I came up with a while ago. I have no idea how it could be done, but would zero gravity sleep be the best way to sleep? Would it solve all (Or at least most) sleep problems? What are your opinions?

maybe you could have 8 super-magnets...4 on you, one on the ceiling, one on the floor, and two on the walls, all reppeling at eachother. It would be really tough just to get yourself situated in there, and it's probably not possible =/

As for your concept, I disagree since the bones in your body will eventually degrade.

For example, astronauts in space have degraded bones just for being in a 0-gravity environment.

That would not result in zero gravity, as the magnets under you are pushing you up, resisting gravity's pull but not nullifying it.

@OP You haven't really given any reasons for this concept to resolve sleep disorders, just a vague idea that zero gravity should help them.

This won't resolve sleep disorders! Everyone in here should know that being in a 0-gravity environment will degrade your body support (aka BONES).

irish, get your facts right. It's the blood circulation that degrades, which CAUSES the bones to degrade. Please don't say "duer herr everyone knows dis" if you're not right.

Remember humans adopt to their environments. They evolve. (evolution theory)
So if you would put people under this zero gravity sleep in a few generations the degrading would decrease.
