muddywolf Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I would not want to be awake 24/7 even if it was possible. What else would you like to cut out due to your busy life style? If you have no time to sleep but time to post on here something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Apart from the mental and emotional benefits, your body needs to sleep in order to grow(if you are young) and/ or repair damage. ---------- Post added 03-01-2014 at 22:39 ---------- Sleep, that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast ... (Macbeth) Good poetry. Deep in the bosom of the gentle night Is when I search for the light Pick up my pen and start to write I struggle, fight dark forces In the clear moon light Without fear... insomnia I can't get no sleep I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness No electricity, something's all over me, greasy Insomnia please release me and let me dream of Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath Tearin' off tights with my teeth But there's no release, no peace I toss and turn without cease Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast At least a couple of weeks Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers But now I keep myself pepped Deeper still, that night I write by candle light I find insight, fundamental movement, uh So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack I gets no sleep I can't get no sleep I can't get no sleep I can't get no sleep I need to sleep, although I get no sleep I need to sleep, although I get no sleep Not so good poetry. It's by 'Faithless' btw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman123 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 A study was done showing that during REM sleep, it is one of the very rare times when the brain is shut down, to the extent that memories formed during the day can be sorted out. Important stuff learned is cast into long-term storage, and all the junk is thrown out. The study also showed that those who didn't sleep properly didn't get this important time for sorting out the brain, forgetting lots of important things that should have been remembered. I would provide a link, but I've forgetten where I read this due to not sleeping enough Defragging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASGOWOODS Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 A microwave bed would cook you in minutes, instant sleep You could sit in the freezer until frozen.Then lay on microwave bed and sleep/de-frost for a while:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilldig Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You're not wrong. It is a long and horrible death, insanity sets in before you reach the miserable end I heard this too, but on the NHS web site it states,"no one ever died from lack of sleep".

anarchist Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ive been wasting hours every 24 hours, just sleeping, doing literally nothing. I could put that time to good use (running, going out dancing, even working, etc), if only there was some way to negate my physiological requirement to sleep. Isn't there a tablet, or something, I can take instead, that will give my body what it needs and gets from sleeping? Orexin. although I doubt it is legal in the UK.
