As a proponent of a universal basic income, I would agree that yes, you should also be paid for sleep.

And under a plan where EVERYONE equally receives that UBI, I can see how you can say it's "being paid to sleep."

Under a plan where people are being paid unequal amounts simply for being alive, that's where it's wrong.

Raising a child is not just "being alive". It requires a tremendous amount of uncompensated labor.
