Sleep

[Sheepo]

So if I were to modify the biological needs of human beings I would definitely ****ing banish sleep. Stupid ass waste of time. It should be a freaking nonmandatory luxury (because it is great, really, and sleep could never really be bad, it feels too good and it comes with sweet dreams) because it's such a ****ing stupid waste of time. 9 hours wasted away if you're lucky. If you can't really get to sleep (like me) you get maybe 4 hours and are ****ed for the first half of the day. I try to sleep for a couple hours get close, snap out of it, and start again. I waste time ****ing lying in a bed not sleeping, I waste time sleeping but not enough, and then I'm a ****ing zombie until 3 PM. But you can't do shit at night either, so right now I'm just ****ing selling my soul to the internet (bless you hl2.net).

In other news, Amazing Girl to be met again on saturday (finally). Week will be sure to go by as slow as shit and then I will probably be struck by a car.

A lot of my friends are annoying the **** out of me lately.

My itunes has magically disappeared along with every song I've downloaded since 2007.

So right now, I'm trying to recall my list of books I need to read before I start writing shit I've been putting off for months. So maybe you could jog my memory on some standard reading and we'll see if you guys say something a) new or b) I forgot.

Thanks for loving me you dirty cockbags.

BACK THE **** UP

pooping and sleeping are both awesome. a waste of time maybe, but still awesome.
who could pass on the chance to relax on the john as you squeeze gooey lumps out of your anus?

alright, raping I understand, but what about consentual putting-it-in-the-bum?

we could just call it the anti-rape hole, but yeah consentual putting-it-in-the-bum works too

Sleep is a sublime experience.
The gradual slip into a changed state of awareness, the strange webs of nonsense your subconscious spins, the hallucinatory nature of waking up - having no idea what just happened or where you've been. Sleep allows us to escape from living, think what we want.

Thanks for loving me you dirty cockbags.

Woah steady on, I never said anything like that.

It's still a pain in the ass to be forced to do it.

And yes, yes you did.

 

[Rizzo]

So what does Sleep has to do with anal sex and literature??
Oh Sheepo, you sly...

 

[Sheepo]

I only brought up the literature. I'm going to force myself to lie in bed and get whatever sleep I can in two hours.

Do I really deserve this while I'm eating my breakfast? My breakfast of porridge? With sultanas in it? :x

 

[Kula Meenur]

Lovely. Just lovely.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Always eat while on HL2.net.
Man I've eaten food through shit like that supersize me burger mold vid, good god.

 

[Rizzo]

I was eating to Raz shit thread.
I had to get right up and make myself a snack after watching that, I'll tell ya...

Sometimes, if I've been up for awhile (say, past 24 hours), I'll be tired and want to go to sleep, but I start pondering the nature of sleep, and I find it slightly terrifying. This is why I read before bed or fall asleep with TV, to distract me. Does that happen to anyone else?

 

[Sheepo]

TV keeps me up.

 

[Darkside55]

Seems like it does for some people. Noise puts me to sleep though. Noise and lights.

 

[FireStarter]

I don't sleep. If I'm lucky, maybe, but I spend most of my time doing GUESS WHAT. You have three guesses, and it does not involve the outside world. ****ING DEMENTIA KEEPING ME GODDAMN AWAKE

I hate having dementia and running out of meds. Need to refill my perscription shortly. UUUUGH. Them people are always watching me. Someone in my family's dead, but they're gonna kill me. I just know it.

I would banish fire. Fire SUCKS. Fire and dementia, probably AIDs too.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Yeah, i only have had about 4 hours of sleep this weekend.

When I was about 11 and had to have a minor operation in hospital, I remember being scared of being generally anaesthetised - the thought of being put to sleep in a matter of seconds was somehow slightly terrifying.

Sorry, had to be done!

Ugh, I've never been anesthetized. I fear not being able to wake up again.

 

[Dynasty]

Sleep is a manditory biological process and requirement. We're talking cell replacement/growth, healing, energy storage blah blah blah blah blah.

Without it we'd burn out and simply cease to function.

However...if we were to remove the biological processes involved, ie become bioengineer super freaks (why so serious?)..I guess that could work. After all, NYC never sleeps right?

But then if we found a way for the processes to happen without sleep, wouldnt they happen all the time and we'd get deformed features from ramped up cell production?

Personally I love my sleep. Maybe being in bed in the mornings, all warm and insanely comfy. Nothing beats a lie-in feeling.

 

[dfc05]

I used to fear that as a kid sometimes, when trying to fall asleep normally. It used to take me a couple of hours to fall asleep, and thinking about it just made it more difficult.

Anyhow, I wish I didn't have to sleep at all. That way I could get these 200 pages of government reading done. I've discovered that it's much easier for me to do math problems than assigned reading when I'm really tired.

This tbh.


I like sleeping a little more than sex sometimes. *runs away so he doesn't get yelled at*

 

[Darkside55]

Sleeping IS more enjoyable than sex.

 

[Eejit]

Falling asleep during sex is the perfect combination.

 

[Tyguy]

you're missing out buddy, it's such a great feeling the few moments before you are unconscious.

"Count down from 10"

"10....9....OOOOOOH YA"

*Wake up a few hours later in recovery

 

[Dynasty]

Yeah that'll earn you brownie points.

I think everyone agrees sleep is more enjoyable than sex, we just dont publically admit it for fear of being...weird.

This.

It feels so awesome to wake up from surgery. I had to be carried out to the car because I couldn't even stand, my mouth was so numb that blood was just streaming out onto my shirt. We listened to Darkside of the Moon on the way home. Overall it was a largely enjoyable experience.

Living without sleep would be terrible. The reason is that if you're doing work, or have spent the day working, or have spent the day doing anything strenuous at all, you need a break. And sometimes you need a break from the meanest, lightest of labours, from being conscious itself. To experience time unbroken, not to stop thinking even for a moment, is a terrible thing. It's horrific. To not be able to think "ah, I'm worn out now, but soon I can just stop, stop entirely, and then I'll wake up as if everything was new, as if I was being born again"...I can't imagine enduring that for long. Sleep saves us.

Well put. I've thought about time unbroken, as you put it, and it really freaks me out.

 

[Tyguy]

Could you possibly fill your entire day with stuff to do if you didn't get tired and need sleep though?

I suppose someone with a heightened ambition might work a week straight but sooner or later the constant redundancies will render any ambition null.

Then again, parties would last for months. I'm never sleeping again. (literally yawned as I typed that)

 

[MJ12]

That isn't the point though, consider that you would be always constantly thinking if you were always awake. For people who already over think things, this would be a horribly depressing and literally drive you insane.

Remember also that sleep helps us divide up time and recollect certain moments.
-If we never slept, all of our memories would become one gigantic, undefinitive blur melted together.

perhaps they would also have the time to think about how to stop this from happening...

*mindblown

I just wish we didn't need so much.

Also, I realized I'd be seeing Amazing Girl on valentines day. Should be interesting.

Also, new topic. Talking really long walks in the middle of the night is the ****ing greatest thing ever. And it's even better if you're in an area you're not familiar with (well, pros and cons, but it's much more enjoyable if you don't get raped).

 

[FireStarter]

I realized recently that I only need a few hours of sleep EVER. For example, I got 3 hours last night and feel fine today, but last week I got the full 8 and felt tired as shit the whole day.

I find that sleeping with shadows constantly trying to grab you to hell and fear of never waking up is overrated. I hug my pillow because it keeps me safe sometimes when the shadows are out to get me with their rusty knives. Does that make me crazy?

 

[Kula Meenur]

bout 8hrs now that uni is still in session break.

I agree, or riding your bike.

 

[Dog--]

Insomnia only allows me to sleep 1-3 hours a night anyways.

You guys waste too much time.

Hell yeah! That's something I started doing recently too.
