If it was physically possible...
I had this conversation with somebody: What if sleep was like sex - people love it, but you won't technically die if you don't get it. This person said the world would be a lot more chaotic, as there would no longer be a specific "down time" like there is at night. That's when I asked this question, "What if the same sleep rule applied to everyone else, EXCEPT you?"
Do you view sleep as an escape to Dreamland, where the impossible happens and none of it has to make sense, or is sleep a nagging curse? Why?
I put this in the Mind Warrior section rather than Off-Topic because I want to see how your view of sleep affects your life and your ability to accomplish the things you want to do.
Me... while there are times when Dreamland is nice, sleep is more like the nagging curse. I prefer night over day and therefore stay up all hours of the night, BUT... I hate sleeping in. Hate hate hate it. The longer I sleep in, the longer it takes me to wake up, the groggier I'll feel till then. (I did learn one coffee trick. Drink 2-3 full glasses of water before your first cup of coffee. It's soooo much more effective.)
I more often than not will blow off sleep as long as possible, feeling it gets in the way of all the projects I'm working on, then go to bed when I absolutely cannot stand it. Not the healthiest thing in the world, I know, but I'm figuring out how to cope with this particular biological need.
Thoughts? Original question reiterated: if you could survive on 2 hours of sleep and be perfectly energized, would you? Why or why not? How do you fit sleep into your schedule currently, and how do you stay energized?
