On: Ask HN: What are problems that need to be solved?

[mechanical_fish]

I'm looking for a solution to a much different sleep problem: How to consistently remind myself that trying to do without sleep is counterproductive and nuts and that I should be doing much more sleeping.

I need the reverse of an alarm clock: A clock that somehow makes me sleep.

Because otherwise not only will my brain function worse, but the additional stress may actually shorten my life, which pretty much screws up the goal of getting more hours out of life!

I don't think you need a reverse, just to reconsider what the alarm you're setting is for.

Try setting the alarm for when you should sleep, instead of wake.

I need to do this myself, and reading your thoughts made it clearer to me. (Doubt I'll actually do it though...)
