So you'd rather experience the pain of a heart attack (Which knocks you out anyway, meaning you may technically die in your sleep.), deadly disease that works in a 5 hour timespan, knife or gun, or perhaps a plank of wood cutting you in two in a hurricane awake?.JimmyBassatti said:Also, I have a strange fear of dying in my sleep. It's not like that guy that said he wants to make a contribution before he dies, I just have a fear that someone, something, or a disease/heartattack/etc. will kill me in my sleep. Therefore, I'd lose that fear
Kinky.
Anyway, I wouldn't take it. At this age I need to sleep or my growth will be stunted.
Do any people here even have tried to obtain the ability to read previous posts?
And what is so good about sleeping, I seriously don't get it.
The time you could blaze through Fallout 3's story mode, you just, go to bed, think about something (what you can do by just sitting, laying etc) and then you fall to sleep, seeing some dreams, of which 99.99% you forget.
You probably don't even remember what you saw yesterday night.

Very easy question. On a level there are no downsides. From what I tell, the drug replicates the effects of sleeping without you having to be asleep? Which means no stunted growth, fatigue disappears, body cells repaired etc and for all those people complaining about how they like sleep/dreams, it seems you still have the ability to sleep.
However, imagine a world, where no-one had to sleep. I guess there are positives such as faster technological advancement due to people having more time to work but I reckon the value of labour would go down as people who were willing to would have more time to work which would mean people would have to spend more time working to make a living.
Also not being tired anymore would rule. Everyone would become more efficient and less accident on roads and in workplaces. Scratch my previous comments the positives outweigh possible negatives.

No. I don't trust any sort of pill that promises something as grandiose as eliminating sleep, and besides, humans need sleep, physically and mentally. If you're constantly on the move, going from one activity to the next without ever resting, your mind might eventually crack from the strain.
So no, I wouldn't take a pill like that, even if it was 110% safe and tested. It's not worth it.

Good points made throughout this post. My opinion: sleep, although enjoyable when you are doing it or awaking from it is the biggest waste of time we have to endure. I for one would like to use the extra time afforded to me by not having to sleep in doing something constructive, though at the moment I am not sure what that would be. All I do know is sleep robs you of your time on Earth that could be better spent elsewhere (I am not religious, another waste of time in my opinion, at least we don't kill each other when we sleep, NO OFFENCE). Note that this drug allows you to sleep IF YOU WANT rather than YOU MUST. A great advantage in my mind
