On Useless Body Functions?

[lhynard]

I've never liked the concept of sleeping. (It is true, however, that I sometimes don't like to wake up.) It always seems like an immense waste of time. I also hate that I cannot think during it. I dislike most dreams, because they make no sense. For a long time when younger, I was really bothered by the question, "Where do I go when I sleep?" that

you could take speed.

I suppose I could..., but maybe not. (Does that seriously work that well?)

[pepperfunk]

i haven't tried it myself, but i hear it works great.
also did you ever think that dreams help you to view the world in a different way? instead of them just not making sense.

[lhynard]

I think dreams serve a purpose; I'm not sure if that purpose is to help me see the world in a different way, but maybe. I think that dreams are sort of the brain's way of processing memories and perhaps of dealing with subconsious thoughts and/or emotions.

On Sleep

I throughly agree, sleep is a waste of time, a huge waste of time. Although, your brother claims to be able to hold sway over his dreams, so I'm not sure he would enjoy not having to sleep. I'll look forward to future advances in this area.

I can do the same thing:

Anyhow, I'm kind of hoping they can figure out some practical info. from this, so that I can take a drug that will allow me to never sleep unless I desire to. Then I would have so much time to translate and write and create and design and learn and hike, etc., etc., etc....

Can't figure out if you're serious. If so, yuck.

Seriously, I would LOVE it if I never had to sleep or eat. I sometimes want to do those things, but I hate that I have to.
