If you had the choice to not worry about sleep woul you?You could get more things done,study more party harder etc.I say no because being up for the rest of your life would drive me crazy.You need to sleep to get away from life.

If my health wasn't affected by the lack of or no sleep I wouldn't bother sleeping. I would get lots of stuff done then.  :)

I need sleep.I wouldn't want to live without sleep.I'd be Dracula! ;D

....all i have to do is dream.....cheers! ;) ;) ;)

Heck no! I crave sleep.

No way! The only time I can be with the one I love is when I'm dreaming.... :)

I wouldn't want to be awake all the time yikes! but i'd like to not be sleepy when i am awake, did that make sence? :-\\

Noooo !  Sleeping is when I re-energise, given that my job's so physically and mentally draining. ::)

No way!! If I don't get my sleep I am a total grouch >:(

I agree!

Oh please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I didn't have to get up, go to work and actually function in the real world, I would have my butt in bed, sound asleep off in dreamland!!!!! Make no doubt about that!!!!! I would only time I would wake up was when I had to eat or use the bathroom. :D :D

I totally understand!  :)

The only time you can live without a few couple hours of sleep is On New Years Eve/Day ;D



Howard

Heck no! I crave sleep.



I need at least 6-8 hours of sleep to survive. ;D


Howard

My first thought was to say "yes" but after thinking about it for a minute I don't think it would be a good idea.  I think it would be to stressful if we didn't require sleep and was up 24/7.  We need that time to complete shut down and recharge ourselves. 

I totally understand!  :)


Thanks Karen  ;)  :)

I like sleep, I just wish it was more restful  :)

You sound like me.  I'm a very fitful sleeper.  :(

I need sleep every day.There is no way I'll live without it. :(



Howard

No!

Life would get boring.

That all matters if we are allowed to live the same amount of years. If so then yes. We would have more time to accomplish more. (whether working or slacking). The downside would be that employers would expect you to work way longer hours.  :-\\

The longest you can go without sleep is about a week, then your body starts shutting itself down (a bit like when you leave your computer by itself for a bit and it goes onto standby), so technically you COULDN'T live without sleep. Well, not for very long anyway.

The longest i've been without sleep is only about 20hours or so

Sleep is one of my only escapes when things get really rough for me... to have no reason to leave the conscious world for 5-10 hours a day would kill me.

If I don't sleep,I get restless so I need the hours of rest and relaxation.

Never. The most beneficial hours of sleep are between 11pm-2am.  Isn't sleep a wonderful thing when you can't do it!!

no I need my sleep :)

Not just no, but HELL NO!!!  ;D


Here here.  Just a couple of years ago I had no problem only sleeping 3 or 4 hours then getting up and going out for a full day of school and stuff, but now I've gotta get a minimum of 6 hours or I feel like crap.

Exactly.

Exactly.


Word.

NO.....sleep is definitely a good thing!!!

No, but I come dangerously close to doing it sometimes

First answer: yes

After thinking for a bit: No, even if we didn't require sleep (as I'm assuming your question is implying) I'd imagine things would be a drag. It can be hard enough at times for me to fill up 16 or however many hours I'm awake a day with things to do.  ::)

I need my 6-8 hours of kip.

...and speaking of sleep, I must do that pretty soon, seeing as it's past midnight already.

I am the queen of sleep. I can sleep standing up. I can shut down like C3PO.

But I wouldnt trade that....how great is waking up in a nice warm bed with the sun peaking through?  Yum.

Also...I wouldnt be this gorgeous without my beauty sleep.  It's a integral cog of the finely tuned machine that is my body (cough cough)

I too have thought about the possibility of a world where we don't have to sleep. I can think of few animals that don't require any form of sleep...Personally, I still need sleep, but it's kind of annoying how frequently we need sleep. Its like, you feel you're just starting the day, getting stuff done.etc before it's already time for bed. That's why I'm sleeping later and later these days. I'd probably be happy with a good night's rest maybe once in 3-4 days...But then again, it would take getting used to. Heck, I don't know, it's probably not worth thinking too much about hypothetical questions like this.

It's a bit like...if you could live for ever, would you?

NO.....sleep is definitely a good thing!!!



It's definitely needed.

As far as I'm aware, 7-10 is about as long as you can go, yes, your body will eventually begin to shut down, however, after 3-4 day's most people have lost it.

I think the longest I've stayed awake was about 40-45 hours.

I went from London, to New York, to Chicago flying. Then by car to St. Louis, then Kansas City. Then I went out for breakfast, went to Brookfield and just didn't go to sleep until about 10PM.

I could but I can't. ;D
