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

RE: If you could remove your need for sleep, would you?
I guess if I lived in a city where there's something to do at 2:00 am, I might do it. But I live in a rural town. Everything closes down at 9:00 pm. Granted sometimes when I get a new video game I'd like to stay up for days straight playing it, but there's not much motivation to give up sleep.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

I sleep barely 6-7 hours at night, if that. I'm always making up for it with multiple naptimes. I like to sleep, but I'd rather it not mess with my schedule so much. I'd at least try the pill. Not sure what the downside would be, but I'd bet there is one.

Fascinating thread!

My skeptic radar is up. I doubt I'd ever take it.
It's a magic, not real, hypothetical kind of pill.  Skepticism isn't necessary; just suspension of disbelief for the fun of the thread.

As long as there are no long term side effects, sign me the fuck up! There are too few hours in a day to be spending 1/3 of them unconscious. So much shit I'd like to get done and never have the time for.

I would oppose it being an expectation but I would do it 110% of the time, and hey, maybe I could learn my Fractions and Percentages while I have that extra time.

If I didn't sleep, I would smoke 24/7.

Fuck yes, are you kidding me? I would gulp that shit down as often as possible.

By the time you're 75 you will have spent twenty-five years asleep, on average.

And 3 years sitting on the porcelain bowl dropping the kiddies off!
I wonder how long a brown trout could be if we stuck it end to end in those years of pooping.
