Even while fully cognizant of the meaning of this term, I can’t help but picture someone who’s capable of keeping time with the chirping of cicadas in the summertime.
When I was younger I had great dreams and would have noted “No way!”
Now I rarely remember my dreams and they’re pretty mundane when I do. So now sleep is just another chore, and I’d definitely prefer the extra time to get things done.
Given that my sex life is completely in dream form and has been for years… no thanks.
I tell you what I would take, though-- the ability to fall asleep whenever and wherever I want to. I’ve been suffering from insomnia lately.
I have a sleep disorder … sleep is a painful, horrible thing that must be done … not having to?! Wooohooo … I’d be soooo happy!! I think of all the things I could achieve and I no longer “fail” at something most other people like.
Of course, I’d really like to just find sleep easy and enjoyable! It sounds like a great thing - I just don’t get it!
I voted, and without reading anyone elses responses, I would fucking sleep like a motherfucker forever, if I could.
So at 3 AM a drunk person will still be drunk, but what will a sober person feel like since he will feel fresh as a daisy at 4 AM? Exhausted? Slightly tired? Something else?
Yes, I’d skimp on sleep, as of now, I don’t have enough time to do everything I want to get done.
This exactly, though I debated on my answer at first because I thought about everything I could get done. But “closing the door on the day” is my preference.
As long as I wasn’t tired or suffered any ill effects from it, that’d be great. I voted YES. I would love that extra chunk of life. Even on days off there is never enough time to do what I would like to.
I have so many books to read, I’d choose to never sleep if I could function normally.
I enjoy sleeping, eating, breathing, walking, and pretty much everything required to live now. When I was younger I felt differently, but I no longer feel that being “productive” for as many hours as possible is the goal.
I saw an ‘Archie’ comic once, where a girl says something like “did you know we waste 1/3 of our life asleep?” The Jughead character responds by saying something like "I say we waste 2/3’s of our life awake. I agree with Jughead’s sentiment.
