Quantum Mechanics And Sleep?

IANAScientist. But I think I understand quantum mechanics, to a small degree, at least. Take Schrödinger's cat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat As I understand it, if you don't "measure" something (in quantum mechanics), it exists in its multiple states.

Now, take sleep. I already brought up what goes on in my attic, when I am not there. It was either here, or on another message board. Now I wonder about something else: when I am asleep.

I was actually inspired to ask this question, by some very interesting dreams I have been having as of late. I often find myself off to far-off and exotic lands. Anyways, I am not really there. I am still asleep in my bed.

But if I am no longer observing things (hint-hint), does that rule of what happens in my attic (or any other place I, and other humans, aren't at the time) happen when I am asleep?

I think you can understand my question, or at least confusion, as to this apparent quantum mechanics rule.

Thanks in advance, to all who reply

:daisy:

 

hmmm.

 

If you're asking if the attic exists in a superposition of being there and not there while you're a sleep, then I'd say the attic is assuredly present as it is a classical object. Quantum mechanics is describing really tiny phenomena, usually below the standard microscopic level.

If that is not what you are asking, you may need to further elaborate.

 

No, I think you answered my question. Thank you.
