sleep a waste of time?

to some, yes... to me, YES!!!!!!!!!!

why must the brain be tricked into thinking that it needs
rest?

why then, do we only try to make our lives form out of
craziness... !!!!!!!!!!

MADNESS! chaos theory, theoretical evolution falling into a
deep sleep that calms the nerves & ends the thought process
of the conscience... i feel like barfing

more importantly i feel like trippin' right now, but no one
is around & i do not enjoy the silence of the earth or the
effect of being left alone, mind is jelly only to be played
with

NATURE SHOULD NOT BE FUCKED WITH!

I've thought about this too. Sleep is lame. I feel like I am
wasting time as well.

You may think its a waste of time.....but its not, its
essential. I challenge you to not sleep for two weeks!

:P

sleep is not a waste of time, try pulling two allnighters in
a row on amphetamines and tell em different.

you feel fucked until you sleep

and you fucking see things - they are fucking cool for a
while (seeing trails and smoke and bubbles floating around
and shit) but you can't think or do anything very well....

myself from not sleeping...?

isn't this just feeding your mind chemicals the exact same
way your mind would react (but differently obviously... b/c
of the certain chemicals released in the brain) if you were
to stay up... listening to your favorite music... I don't
give a fuck who it is or what... but you know... it's just
the chemicals telling your brain that it needs rest right?

life is soo fucking confusing! god damnni!

i don't have any means of documentation to the way i react
when not sleeping... i would need to observe myself through
recordings & video.... both of which are not adequate
enough!

all i am saying is make a natural process like sleep become
an experience.... that can be something not used everyday
for chemical intake, to make yourself feel better by getting
less sleep, essentially yes, weed out the sleep... but make
it more important when you do! and do not fall into a
sleeping pattern... is this possible?

yeah i ......think i get it.

whatever you do, DON'T smoke pot.

seriously, buy a bunch of dexxies, like 50 and if you take
like 7 to 10 a day, you shouldn't have a problem staying up
for a week.

nah... dude... you should have said... "whatever you do...
don't sleep & listen to Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works
Vol.II"... that shit puts me out EVERY EVERY EVERY EVERY
EVERY EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT! most definitely a religious
experience.... call me fucking retarded when i say that...
but seriously... come on now... music to sleep to = that
album

life is weird, but life is good in these casual, subtle ways

I sleep way too much. And I feel like I really need the
sleep. I have trouble getting out of bed when I first wake
up.

I wish I was one of these people that could go on 5-8/9
hours of sleep and be perfectly fine. It would be a
blessing.

what that i'm not insane or that my mayte is going insane?

actually he's not really a mate. used to be. but that whole
group is dodgy so we avoid them.
i don't give a shit, really, it's their own fault.

another dude in the group has smoked ice every day for the
last 2 weeks, before during and after work.
he's not insane yet at all, he's ok
but addicted as fuck
and he won't last long.
stupid morons.

your mind is already made of chemicals interacting with each
other.... you do not like the disturbance or the effect
loop? or just where it puts your mind after the fact 80
years down the road... like i think what Mr. Orange Dust is
trying to say is that it should be delt as 'experiences' and
never taken in a manner that destroys the whole bow-jesus
out of you...

you have a mind.... everyone can do what they want with
it... which is mostly used to input & output

I actually just started taking some sleeping medicine, got a
bad case of insomnia... I refused to take anything with any
side effects, like Ritalin (yeah, not sleep drug, but same
general idea), they sapped my creativity. The track I
finally put up is a wonderful creation of sleep
deprivation... down with sleep!

but I'm not stu....ok well i am stupid

but yeah. i dunno, just be careful of what you're taking
etc
i'm personally more afraid of hallucinogens than anything
else

so i'm verrrrrry careful when i take any
but they're impossible to find, so atm i'm not in too much
danger

psychedelics are great if you think of it like thinking
about a puzzle in general & trying to piece things together,
but have all parts combine with each other & interact, where
you can then finally realize that it was silly to think
about that stuff in the first place

sleep is great when you have something you're proud of, that
you can think about in the sub-conscience... like say for
ex: you are RDJ, the man himself... and you just got done
mastering the RDJ album, how silly, isn't it that the guy
has that much guts to just play with his name that way, by
putting it as his album title... good lamb!

It can be fun to go without sleep for a bit, but if you're
driving it's pretty irresponsible. Only really doable when
you're on holiday/a student.

Sanguine, with regard to not being able to sleep being good
for tracks: When I was at university, I used to quite often
find tracks in my music folder I had either very little or
no recollection of making. Sometimes I'd just remember a
pattern or instrument name.

I know a girl who had a heart attack on dexies. She had 20
and it was her first time. She didn't die, but i doubt
she'll ever touch em again. It was at school too and the
ambulance came and everything. She was pretty fat though.

It's ridiculous that our bodies have to shut down for 6-9
hours a day. Ideally, we should just be able to lay down, or
sit, for 6-9 hours, AWAKE, but reading or watching
something... resting, recharging, but aware. I fucking HATE
how God decided to fuck us over like that.

Days are already way too short.

It's a damn pity sleeping is a biological necessity. It's
strange in a way, because our brain seems to be very active
while we sleep and consumes a lot of energy. Not the thing
you would expect from resting.

The worst part of sleeping is waking up and getting out of
that bed, still being tired. Every day again I hate it.

its such a trap. full time work.. well it turns me into a
machine (an unhappy one at that)

im heavily inspired by visual artists who did as i
described.. only worked when they had to.. and spent their
time living or going mad in the studio

thats where i belong :) nowhere else. im
always told its unrealistic but i just cant believe it
