But is this not the way things are almost now?

Kids of all stripes are forced to study once they get home until they go to bed. Go to bed, wake up and go to school (you better get straight A's) then go home and study. Adding in more time for studying? We'd have numerous studies on the pros and cons of this method.

I'm sure one could point to a time period in our past where people would think that the way we live now is 'dystopia'.

There could also be novel ways to use this time.

For instance, it would be kind of cool to study while sleeping, maybe some math or science or art or history. Then during the waking hours, instead of studying more, I'd love to do something with that knowledge, stuff that you can't do while you are asleep. Like experiments, make a software program that does something, draw some art that mimics a particular period. Utilize that knowledge and expand on it but in a more hands on fun way.
