Jonathan Crary proposed that for the complete realization of 24/7 capitalism,natural sleep is the only major obstacle that remains and cannot be eliminated.However,with the rise of sleep monitoring platforms,sleep datafication has become a daily life in the digital agenatural,sleep,the"last fortress"against capitalism is on the verge of collapse.The study found that,sleep datafication is essentially a quantitative self practice of capital logic,digital capital enchants sleep monitoring through social media,revolutionizing the natural needs of the body;In the illusion of"autonomy"created by digital capital,users of sleep monitoring platforms fall into the trap of human-machine disconnection,forming a"data dependency syndrome"in machine perception;Under the promise of technology in the name of health,there is a hidden platform's"rationalization"encroachment on user privacy data,from passive exploitation to active transfer",sleep data has become a powerful tool for global time exploitation of digital capital.
