Do you know what you are doing while sleeping? Do you sometimes speak aloud? Talk about some morbid or violent sex fantasies? Do you touch yourself? Do you look seductive? Do you...? If you could choose your appearance during sleep: What positions, what appearances, what actions would be desirable for you? How would you want to exhibit yourself? Now, I conducted an experiment where I tried to look stunning all night! I chose several positions that made me look strong and self-confident (or so I like to believe). With a webcam tracking my position a computer played a sound whenever I moved too much from the previously defined positions, essentially waking me up. How far are we prepared to go in trying to influence how others perceive us? To what extent do we want to use technology to control our appeal?
