If you could remove your need for sleep, would you?

November 10, 2015 at 4:04 pm

Imagine that you could take a pill (cheap & safe) which would remove any need for you to sleep for a month. It would fulfill all the physical and mental functions that sleep performs; so it isn't keeping you conscious forcibly, just fulfilling the needs which sleep usually does.

Would you take the pill?
Why?
What effect do you think it would have on our society if such a pill was invented?

This is about what sleep means to us beyond it's biological purpose.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. ~ George Bernard Shaw
