If you didn't have to sleep.. would you?

Let's assume a pill was developed that, once taken, allowed you to stay awake without feeling sleepy for an infinite amount of time. Let's also assume that it has been proven to be 100% safe with no negative side effects. Would you take it?

Of course, I definitely would. I already have days where I only sleep 2.5 hours-4 hours at the most and then I drink a bunch of coffee to stay awake. I think it depends on your schedule and your lifestyle. I have a bunch of med student friends who would kill for this type of pill so that they could study more.

Yup! I would love to have more hours in a day!

No way, I love my cat naps!

I do like sleeping an awful lot, but I am going to say yes. I would have so much time to do do things I've always wanted to do.

I definitely would! I think sleeping is a waste of time

and would completely eliminate that from my day if possible.

Nope, I love, love,love to sleep!! I always take naps when I can or have time. I think my dh would though, he always says if he didn't have to sleep he wouldn't.

Absolutely! Sleeping is just a waste of 8 productive hours. Man....could I get some stuff done!!!!

ShimmaPuff · Jul 7th, 2008, 07:42 AM

I'd take it! I'd love to be permanently awake and never have to miss anything!
