How far away are we from making this a pill? So we can stay up 18 hours a day, or something. Any estimates.
Any idea what foods or current methods, to trigger the same mechanism?

You are describing slow-wave enhancement. It's what we've been working on at https://affectablesleep.com, not with the goal of letting people sleep less time, but with the goal of enhancing the restorative function of sleep without altering sleep time.
Measuring sleep by time makes about as much sense as measuring your diet based on how much time you spend chewing.
Sleep isn't about time, it's about restorative function.
There is no one diet for everyone, no one exercise regimen for everyone, why would we think sleep is any different.
We don't promote sleeping less. We're not the sleep police. We aim to ensure the sleep you get is as beneficial as possible.
Pre-sales are opening soon.
You mean operating on 6 hours of sleep? That doesn't seem that extreme. Perhaps less than ideal, but plenty of people seems to handle it fine.
Please not, the economy will simply expand until everyone needs to work longer.

That's called having a kid.
