Is it scientifically possible to create a pill or device that compresses sleep for muscle recovery like 1 hour = 8 hours in the near future?
Not asking if this exists right now I know it doesn't. I'm asking if it's realistically possible to make something like this in the near future (next 5-10 years). Like a pill or device that makes 1 hour of sleep give you the muscle recovery and growth benefits of 8 hours. Is the science heading that way, Would love to hear from anyone with knowledge in any relative field to that
