      Apparently some people with somnambulism wake up in the middle of the night and clean their houses. Not wishing to make light of anyone’s medical problems, if this is actually dangerous and debilitating ... if it’s not, maybe I can train myself to do this?

      Currently, I’m working at it from the other direction, where I close my eyes and take small naps while continuing to sweep.

      Sweep? A great, visionary sci-fi writer denies himself technology? Or is it merely a case of "when asleep do not operate machinery"?

      I have no carpet in my house (and so gave away the vacuum cleaner I’d owned when I lived in a flat with carpet). Linoleum and tile floors need to be swept and mopped, and in any case using a vacuum cleaner wouldn’t be much faster than sweeping.

      I found that a Roomba halves the required cleaning frequency of uncarpeted rooms as well. You could use your somnambulistic potential for automatic writing.

      A$650 (new) when it might “halve the required cleaning frequency”? That’d only make me resent the times I had to clean it myself even more, pondering all the saner things I could have done with that much money. I just need to get better at thinking productively while cleaning.

      For a family of four with cats, this comes down to several hours per week, and a lot of less hair and dust floating around in the meantime. If you pay someone for cleaning or put value on your own time, amortization time may be 1-2 years.

      I’m sure it makes perfect sense for some households. But I doubt I’d earn a cent more each week if I was spared the time I currently spend cleaning, so it would just be an expensive indulgence.

      Whatever fills your time with meaning and satisfaction. Somehow I prefer imagining my favorite living philosopher surrounded by robots instead of somnabulating through dust motes
