Okay so I do know many people actual like sleeping. The day has made them tired and their body is screaming at them to just stop and rest. I understand the biological need of it. But what it.....? What if sleeping was optional? I could petty much guaranty that I would be a part of the group opting out. It might sound weird but it seems like such a waste of time. I could be doing something better in all the time that gets used up in sleep. Plus all that time is just ....not even a part of our memory. It's just gone. Does anyone else feel like this? Or is this just me?

It is weird to think about how we spend so lonh sleeping each day. Imagine how productive or even bored we would be if sleep were optional!

@maezee @ms1864 Just think how many extra books a person could read in all that "wasted" time! (I tend to read a novel length book each day as it is. If I had another four or five hours a day, I could read almost an entire extra novel!) You never know, some people might choose to use that time to play on myLot, too!

Yeah, guess it would depend on each persons personality on what they mig_ht choose to do if they had extra time.

I've never thought that sleep was a waste of time, but I am really not one who should comment about sleeping or not sleeping, Manisha... I tend to sleep as little as I can get away with, myself. *shrug!* (I generally get about four to five hours of sleep each day.) Of course, that sleep is not all gotten at one time. I take my sleep in cat naps lasting from 30 minutes to an hour each. If I had a choice, I wouldn't bother to sleep, either. I'd spend the "extra" time reading. Were you aware that food equals sleep, in the short term?
