Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

I never said that not sleeping is good. I'm saying that we don't fully understand the inner workings of sleep.

It isn't difficult, but it's a mighty time consumer. Having more time is always a good thing.
Understanding the inner workings is valuable scientific knowledge. I wouldn't say needing something to more or less replace the function sleep serves is necessary though. Aren't there better things would look into creating with out time? Maybe a cure for some of the cancer varieties out there, or something actually necessary?
Generally, it's wiser to leave things up to a machine only when the task is tedious and inconvenient. I wouldn't say simply sleeping is something that fits either of those enough to warrant blowing valuable money and effort into building a silly machine.

And yes, it is a mighty time consumer. But honestly, school/work is a much greater one. If anything, sleep is our time to not just perform something functional for the body, but also to just relax. Not have to worry about as much. And of course, for those that like it, dream.

And for the hours you sleep normally, if you just up and got rid of them, what are you going to do with that time otherwise? There isn't much to honestly do in the early hours of the morning or late at night. Even if people could work 24/7 and keep stores and whatnot open, they wouldn't. No one is that much of a work-a-holic. They have families they want to go home to and/or things they want to do with their spare time.

Gosh, I dunno how people can deal with barely any sleep. Getting under 6 hours makes me feel like crap, how can people survive off 1?

I think you're taking a throwaway statement extremely too seriously :sweatlol:

There are techniques. They include splitting sleep hours between night and day and drinking sub-lethal amounts of coffee

Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

In the art room, I opened a cabinet and was like "look, tongue depressors!". My friend said "it doesn't matter how fancy they make the name, they're just big popsicle sticks."
So I asked him "what if popsicle sticks are just small tongue depressors? If you're eating a popsicle and finish it, all that's left is the stick. That makes your tongue pretty depressed, right?"

He found my logic to be flawless.

Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

I want to make my sig for tomorrow but I'm tired...I'll just sleep.
Laying here uncomfortably is probably a more appropriate term.

Hmmm. This makes me wonder how often I'm taken seriously.

Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

I'm taken seriously all the time
For example, my post on the dangers of driving vs walking
