would you stop sleeping if you could stay awake forever due to a revolutionary pill or something?

I'd be happier asleep, I keep having these dreams that spill over into the waking hours, emotions that linger like failing fragrance, and I think, mournfully, which state is richer, where am I happier?

if it could magically have no negative side-effects, i probably would. it would be like adding on a third to your lifespan.

Well if you didn't need to sleep and had no desire to then yes I would stop the whole sleeping business. Although I would only use the extra hours to do fun things.

your whole daily structure would change. you wouldn't need time to wake up or fall asleep. you could take a vacation or travel for 16 hours and still go to work for eight. you would enjoy more of life without the restraints of having to have to go to sleep at a certain time or place.

but I like falling asleep. waking up a bit less, but that only speaks for my love of sleep.
I like being out of it now and then eventhough it's not as conscious as I make it sound now.

It would be handy now and then, but I love sleeping. If I could have a nice nap instead of all the time I waste watching TV or on the internet, I would. The only reason I don't is to increase the sleeptacular impact of my night sleep.

now that i think about it again, this cough drop tastes like wine and i can see why sleep is grand. but how do we know that the only reason we love sleep isn't because our bodies are tired? the great feeling when we start going to sleep is because we're finally resting. but this pill would defeat any trace of sleepiness or weariness. so you have to imagine always feeling in tip-top perfect condition, ready to take on the world 24/7.
unless you're saying you like being unconcious so that you don't have to deal with things in waking life. many people feel that way, but that's a different story.

you need downtime, just like you can't be happy all the time.
you need contrast.

but to come back to your last arguments - I think you see sleep too much as just a physical process. it is just that, but it also influences emotional processes immensely.
sleep and the need for sleep is a natural process to deal with human emotions, therefore with being human.
to me it's just too much a part of life.
