If sleep were not required, but just optional (you didn't get tired), would you ever sleep? I can say that I'd sleep much less often, if ever.

The real hard question is: "if being awake were not required, would you ever not-sleep?"![]()
That was the premise of The Matrix. I expect that if sleep were not required then it would be illegal.micromass said:Of course I would sleep! Sleeping is cool :tongue2:

lurky said:I think this might be a better way to pose the question:
If you could suddenly undergo some procedure that would utterly and completely remove your need for sleep, would you do it?
My answer: Absolutely.

aruna said:I am not sure but I think so, yes.
What about you?
Anyone else?
Is it different from being lost in random thought, though?
