No Need of Sleep

Thought Experiment - let’s say tommorow, everyone wakes up and there’s a medical breakthrough

Humans no longer need to sleep because of miracle [insert whatever] thing.

Would MDs just work you 24/7? Would there be no breaks in the day? What about weekends? Grind then too? Would fee inflation just mean banks grow bigger, need hire more, hire more need big expense, big expense mean more fee, analyst get grind even more? Where would the line even be drawn?

I imagine there would be some of sort cognitive drift, even if we remove the need for sleep, we are still humans with attention spans, mental health, nervous systems that need to be regulated etc. 

Even if you are in perfect health middle of the day, taking some time off the screen can help productivity
