    Sleeping is something that really bugs me. I understand why humans have to sleep and all, but just think about what could be possible if we didn't have to sleep, or what the world would be like.

    So let's assume that human beings wouldn't get tired in a sleepy way, ever. That means we could take away bedrooms probably, and just have rooms for dressers and clothes and such. Also, we could probably assume that the hotel industry would be entirely different as people wouldn't need places to stay at night. People could probably accomplish so much more.

    Is sleeping a waste of time. What would you do if you never needed to sleep? Would you try to learn more, or would you just use that time for screwing around and doing nothing?

    Please don't accuse me of being ignorant of the wonders of sleep, it's just a what if.

    I have a weird habit of oversleeping, although my friends think it's partially normal. Of course, I'm very concerned about my health. I love dreaming however, it gets a lot off of my mind.

    Either way, if humans didn't have the need to sleep, we'd be using more resources than we'd need before. We'd accomplish way more as well. I'd personally use this new found ability o learn more, and well, spend more time on LV than I do.

    I love sleeping, but hate sleeping in. Off course, we need to sleep. Sleeping brings me at peace, so I can think what I'd like to think, get things out of my mind, or even day-dream! I love all my dreams too, because they are full of imagination.

    As Azure said, if humans didn't need to sleep, then they'd use more resources, and exploit the land more, which is unacceptable. After a while, nature does in a break from damaging human hands, especially fossil fuels, which are running out.

    If we didn't need to sleep, I imagine the human species would be doing much better as a whole right now. We'd have been able to work harder longer to further advance our technological capabilities and would be scientifically astounding. On a more personal level, I would finally not have to worry so much about trying to sleep and could actually have time to finish all my work and be able to relax.

    The thing is, if humans didn't need to sleep, then would we already have found a surefire way of harnessing energy that does minimal environmental damage without using resources? I'm going to assume that human beings are going to use the extra time to study and research more, so there's a good chance we would have found a more efficient energy solution by this point. I just felt that I had to comment when I saw this.

    Oh yes, you were right! But who would do that considering the amount of rest we can get? Lot's of people, students especially, are tired because of school.
