<p>If you average 5 hours of sleep versus 8, and you do this for 40 years, that's over 3,000 days you have over the lazy sleepers! </p>
<p>It also gives us time to do stupid calculations like that.</p>
<p>the real question is, wouldn't it be nice if YOU didn't need sleep, but everyone else still did. THAT would be useful.</p>
<p>i don't know. even if sleep weren't required, i'd probably still sleep. sleep is more of an indulgence for me these days. i keep telling my mom that my daily highlights are dinner, and going to bed.</p>
<p>I'm going to open up a newspaper in about 25 years, and it will have the headline "Former High School Overachievers Die of Latent Effects of Sleep Deprivation - Massive Pandemic." And I will laugh.</p>
<p>Either that or you all (meaning everyone who prides him/herself in getting as little sleep as possible) will become zombies.</p>
<p>Have fun with that. I'll be over here, being healthy.</p>
<p>Right now, I really wish I didn't require sleep, so that I wouldn't be so tired right now, and be able to actually study for my AP chem/world tests right now.</p>
<p>LOL newest newb.</p>
<p>When you think of the risks of sleeping, it is amazing so many animals sleep and how long they indulge in it.</p>
<p>Oooh! I wish.</p>
<p>i feel like sleep is such a weak development in evolution...</p>
<p>Sleep is the dormant act of replenishing ourselfs in preparation for the next glorious day. Evidently, I try to sleep 5-6 hours a day to fully take advantage of time, sigh. Its a good thing caffiene was discovered.</p>
<p>I just went to a party yesterday and the main attraction was a hypnotist, he said that 15 minutes of being under in the relaxed state is equivalent to about 3 hours of sleep. I wish I had participated!</p>
<p>Sleep is great. You can, contrary to popular opinion, live without sleep. There are some people, I forget what they're called, but they can't sleep, and they live by lying down a lot because really sleep is just time for you to rest and recharge, which you can do by lying down. However, I loving dreaming, and waking up, and being happy and refreshed, and letting all my worries to the wind. I can't believe you would give all that up just to finish homework.</p>
<p>We wouldn't give up sleep! But wouldn't it be better if sleep were something you could <em>choose,</em> like any other pleasant pastime? Though, if I could do that everyday it wouldn't do anything for my already miserable work ethic, so maybe it'd be better if I could have, say, 100 days a year where I didn't need to sleep.</p>

<p>WHere did you hear of this princessbell? I cannot believe it. I would definately want the same for myself. I WOULD give up sleep so that I could do lots of work during the day and do my homwork at night.</p>
<p>So... you'd want to be a robot?</p>
<p>even with an extra hour of sleep or two I still have a pounding headache in AP US first period, no amount of coffee can drown out the boredom and the pain.</p>

I might be more willing and OK with sleeping if I enjoyed it. I don't typically feel refreshed after I sleep, nor do I remember any of my dreams. I don't feel it relieves any of my stress.</p>
<p>That's probably because you don't sleep enough.</p>
<p>nah i love sleep</p>
<p>I love my dreams too much. They're amusing...</p>
<p>mine too. /<em>/</em>/</p>
