Sleep accelerator

Sleep accelerator

A bedside device that accelerates the sleeper's circadian rhythm. This speeds up sleep, but consumes a lot of electricity and also causes increased hunger. It must be placed directly adjacent to and facing the head of the bed. Placing more than one sleep accelerator near the same bed has no effect.

A Sleep accelerator is added by the Ideology DLC. It can be installed to a bed, granting +35% rest effectiveness and +20% hunger rate multiplier to the colonist sleeping in it for 400W power. It takes 50W power when it's not being used.

Similar to the neural supercharger, it is unlocked by Microelectronics, but you need a colonist with a Transhumanist meme in their ideoligion in order to build it. One way to build this without the Transhumanist meme is to recruit a pawn that follows an ideoligion that has Transhumanist, not convert them, and force them to build these.

The power draw is significant and spikes when colonists sleep, so much so that it might be advantageous to set transhumanist pawns to stagger their sleep cycles to even out the load spike or to have them sleep during the day to take advantage of cheap and easily available solar generators without having to use bulk battery storage.

Although consuming massive amounts of power during usage and requiring a pawn to eat more, the accelerator is a good way to increase a pawn's efficiency.

As noted by the description, the sleep accelerator must be placed adjacent to and facing the head of the targeted bed to have effect. More than one accelerator has no effect.
