But I’m sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn’t something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?

    A risk, really? Who wouldn’t wake up coughing if they accidentally inhaled a mouthful of water!?

      People who take Ambien, Lunesta, or trazodone. Anyone who drinks too much and doesn’t realize it. Anyone on opiates for pain.

      Besides all the potential medications you’d wake up panicked, in water (likely swallow more), and may in your panick fail to get out of whatever tub setup you have. It isn’t common but people do drown in bathtubs (not just infants who’ve been left alone).
