I'm one who enjoys sleep. I don't see it as a waste of time. I see it as a relaxing and pleasurable experience. Ain't nothing better than falling asleep after an exhausting day and dreaming up a storm. It's the waking up I don't particularly care for. But then again, once you're up, you're up.
To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.

Oh, I thought we were just talking about stuff like sleep, food, water, oxygen, ect.Originally Posted by Necronopticous
And you can live without all those things...you just don't, I assume. I personally would hate a world without most of what you listed though.
I like Kung-Fu.
I wish I didn't have to live with living
schooooooooool o_o;
it's too long. D: booo.
TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAID "SLEEPING"
Your problem is not sleep, it is that you are not making use of your sleep.
Sleep is not the most wasteful part of the day but rather the most
important. It's all about dreams. The key is to get enough sleep that you
can remember your dreams, and then overcome your laziness and write
down your dreams. If you are able to do this I can nearly guarantee that
your life will be richer, more exciting, and simply...better.
Many people fight sleep. They say that the less sleep they get, the more
they will accomplish. This is not only false, but it is opposite of the truth.
If you are able to remember your dreams then you will be able to plan them
and eventually even control them, MAKING them extremely useful. Rather
than complaining about how sleep is bad, make sleep work for you.

Heh, I find it amusing how only one of you has listed computer/video games. Man, I wish I could live without it, but I usually turn to these machines when I'm bored.. I wish I was born half a century sooner or something.
No. I CAN live without it. Which means I CAN'T live with it. *throws you off a skyscraper and onto a big fluffy elephant*
Signature by rubah. I think.
I have to agree with that one.
Or I could stay awake and control what I do anyway. I can see your point, but I'd rather spend 24 hours in reality, to be honest.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
You can find many solutions and answers in dreams. Consciousness is
made out to be more important than an altered state such as dreaming,
when in fact many of the greatest breakthroughs in liturature, art, music,
science, and technology have come about through dreams. Imagine now
if every person on earth were to use dreams to their advantage and to
remember and write down every dream they have. A new breakthrough in
civilization? Probably a good chance.
But to go back to the problem solving I mentioned before, not only are
dreams meant to solve problems (ie. to release stress, store information,
etc) but you can solve problems yourself. Let's say you can't find your
favorite hat. You think as you're going to sleep "I will find my hat, I will
find my hat..." In your dream you can't find your hat. You think "Where
was I last wearing it?"...."IN THE CAR!!" You wake up and there it is.
This case is a good example of the mind's amazing capacity to remember
EVERYTHING that has ever happened. Everything you have ever picked
up with any one of your senses is stored in your brain, it's all a matter
of bringing the information back. This can be done much more easily in
an altered state of consciousness (such as hypnotism or in this case:
dreaming).
If I have in some way turned you on to the possiblity that rather than
dreading sleep you can make use of it, you should definitely check out
the book Creative Dreaming by Patricia Garfield, Ph. D. On the back of
the book it lists a few things, I'll throw it on here in case anyone is
curious at all.
.optCREATIVE DREAMERS WILL BE ABLE TO:
- Increase the ability to concentrate and recall
- Build a capacity for coping with fear-producing dream situations that carry over into the waking state
- Experience pleasurable adventures in dreams
- Achieve self-understanding
- Define and unify a unique personality
- Find support and help for waking problems
- Produce things of usefulness and beauty, for self-expression and for enrichment of the world
Following the theory that sleep allows the mind to recharge, you don't need sleep if you are capable of 'recharging' while being 'conscious'.
Saying you don't want to live with sleep merely means that you wish you could regenerate your mind's rigor quickly enough that you don't need to reach certain levels of unconsciousness (and for an extended period of time too). Yay!
As for dreams, what about day-dreaming?
Do you really think daydreams are the same thing as dreams?
