Once we can reliably induce lucid dreaming, and maybe with the help of some neural prosthesis to capture the output, we can recover all that lost productivity time by having people do immersive vr spreadsheet work in their dreams.

If you do this, please sell it as an intensive sleep retraining device, a la the Thim.io device except not garbage.
What’s garbage about the device? What other wearables have you tried for sleep tracking?
This isn't really for sleep tracking. It's for sleep retraining. Basic premise is that falling asleep is a skill you can practice like any other, but it's hard to do that because you... well... fall asleep.
So this device is meant to ask you whether you're awake every minute (you say yes by tapping your finger) and once you stop responding, it triggers an alarm to wake you up. By waking up and falling asleep again repeatedly, you learn to fall asleep better.

I used to be able to lucid dream quite regularly. I had a friend tell me that looking at your hands throughout the day would help as when you looked at them in your dreams you would realize it. Now as I’ve grown older I don’t even dream anymore (I suspect due to THC use) but even on nights where I go to bed stone cold sober - nothing happens. I don’t dream. Does anybody else find themselves lacking the ability to dre…

You have to quit THC for at least two weeks until you start dreaming again.

Looking at my Apple Watch data, I get regular amounts of REM sleep and Deep sleep.
