Feeling tired? Why not stay up and hack together a machine to help you experience lucid dreams.
zzz uses a trigger-style mouse to play distinctive sounds. Wear it during sleep and test your reality in dreams by squeezing your finger or thumb. If you hear the sounds, you can recognize that you're asleep and take control of the dream.
You will need:
- A Raspberry Pi
- An ergonomic handheld trigger mouse
- Speaker or headphones
Clone the repo to your Pi. Install Python:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
Install dependencies:
pip3 install pygame evdev
Depending on your Pi OS version you may need to add --break-system-packages here; this is fine if your Pi will be a dedicated zzz machine and you don't care about your Python environment; otherwise, create a virtual environment.
Put sounds in the sound directory and link them to your desired buttons in zzz.py.
Adjust volume with alsamixer.
Run sh run.sh in the project directory.
Timestamped logs are collected in sleep.log.
