SUPER ELITE UPPER TIER
If we could figure out a way to eliminate the need to sleep, we could essentially "live" twice as long.
I like to think I'd use that time for reading and learning new things. Or catching up on my DVR.This has always been one of my many recurring thoughts that come up while sitting on the toilet. I like to think about what I would do with all that time every night. Take up a new model train hobby, write a book, etc. It would all be pretty much indoor time because it's dark.
Except sleep seems to be pretty critical to the learning process.I like to think I'd use that time for reading and learning new things. Or catching up on my DVR.
It is if you see it as a disease that consumes a large chunk of your life.Not sure "cure" is the word you are looking for here.
But I'm including that in the cure. We just make it so we don't sleep AND we still get the benefits of sleep. Vitamin S, or something like that.Actually most of your body healing takes place while you are sleeping so if you are not sleeping, you may not last as long.
Since you would likely die without sleep, perhaps seeing it as a disease isn't quite on point.It is if you see it as a disease that consumes a large chunk of your life.
It's actually the disease making you think you do. Like rabies, where you feel like you want to bite someone.I ####in love sleep so much.
If that's the case, I'm all in. Get to work on this...But I'm including that in the cure. We just make it so we don't sleep AND we still get the benefits of sleep. Vitamin S, or something like that.
I wouldn't die. I'd make sure that the cure also provided me with the benefits of sleep. I'm not stupid.Since you would likely die without sleep, perhaps seeing it as a disease isn't quite on point.
It's an inefficiency of the human body. Like ####ting and pissing. It'd be nice to cure those too. Make the body so efficient that it uses everything you eat and drink and doesn't produce any waste.It is if you see it as a disease that consumes a large chunk of your life.
you can take my sleep when you pry it from my sleepy, tired, blissful, sleepIt's actually the disease making you think you do. Like rabies, where you feel like you want to bite someone.
Sounds like you are heading to be some droid, but even HAL had problems. Without sleep/dreaming, everyone is probably a stress case.I wouldn't die. I'd make sure that the cure also provided me with the benefits of sleep. I'm not stupid.
Well, yeah, that would be the eventual end goal. My brain with a robot body. Able to go on living forever. Continuous learning for eons that would eventually lead to each and every one of us ruling our own planet in the infinite universe.Sounds like you are heading to be some droid, but even HAL had problems.

Will still require software updates as world around you changes/advances. And you know how well software updates work - never any glitches. Well unless you are some supreme being and can control everything. In the meantime, I will enjoy my sleep. Good luck.Well, yeah, that would be the eventual end goal. My brain with a robot body.

Or at least catch up on my DVR.
If you’re a desk jockey like me, you could front load much of the day’s reading and writing and do it overnight. And if everyone else handled it the same way, you could start doing conference calls at night. Then free up the day for outdoor fun.This has always been one of my many recurring thoughts that come up while sitting on the toilet. I like to think about what I would do with all that time every night. Take up a new model train hobby, write a book, etc. It would all be pretty much indoor time because it's dark.

Pretty sure if more animals had opposable thumbs it would happen more often.Saw the other day that humans are the only animal that purposefully deprives themselves of sleep.
Pretty sure if we didn't need sleep, bosses would realize you have a heck of a lot more time to be at work and we'd all be doing that 12 hour work day six days a week like that crazy Chinese guy is promoting.
Humans are the only animal that needs to wipe also. I'm so jealous when my dog craps outside then comes right back in 10 seconds later.Saw the other day that humans are the only animal that purposefully deprives themselves of sleep.
There's an American Dad episode about it too. It ends with the lead couple rekindling their love for one another after the husband uses his newfound spare time to win a video game contest while the wife uses her newfound spare time to discover a colossal squid, which her husband then kills with a speargun. So, mixed results?Drunken Cowboy said:There is a Doctor Who episode about this. It ends with eye booger monsters, no thanks.
You sure about that? I think I learned at a young age that bears use rabbits to wipe.Gianni Verscotchie said:Humans are the only animal that needs to wipe also. I'm so jealous when my dog craps outside then comes right back in 10 seconds later.
What did humans do before toilet paper?

A three bedroom house would essentially become a 4 den house. The Realty game would change forever!Our houses would be filled with multiple dens. Another plus to curing sleep.

Hotels would go out of business.Our houses would be filled with multiple dens. Another plus to curing sleep.
Who doesn't need a break from the world for about 6-10 hours a day? And, I would miss the dreams.If we could figure out a way to eliminate the need to sleep, we could essentially "live" twice as long.
Back to the caveman days, standing up becomes the new missionary position.So how do we get past no beds? Do it on a pool table in one of the rumpus rooms?
Neat idea. Let me sleep on it and get back to you.I wouldn't die. I'd make sure that the cure also provided me with the benefits of sleep. I'm not stupid.
