Would you take a pill that removes the need for sleep?

[bear hammer]

Imagine a pill that makes it so you would never be able to fall asleep again. You also get no tiredness, no health consequences, no negative effects at all—just 24 hours of pure wakefulness every single day for the rest of your life. And the effect is permanent.

Would you take it? What would you do with the extra time? Or would you keep sleeping just because it feels good?

 

[Honored guest]

Such a thing exists, its called meth, yes I take it and I spend all the extra time I have picking at the scabs on my face.

 

[OrionBalls]

No. I can control my dreams, and that's really fun. Unless, you also have a pill that can let me jump really high and recreate my dream palace in the real world.

 

[greatUncleShitHeel]

Wait do you mean meth?
You smoke that.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

no, i enjoy sleep, my dreams are awesome, except for the ones where i go to restaurants because I NEVER GET MY DAMN FOOD. god i am a fucking fatass.

 

[Quiet Guy]

It's tempting, but I'm not sure I would take it. I've been awake for more than a day before, and I didn't really like how the days felt like they were blurring together.

Mother Fucker! I occasionally have work dreams where Chef asks me to grab something from the other end of the line to finish a ticket, and I never ever make it to the other end because random tasks keep coming up. Are you the guest that ticket is for? I'm so sorry.

i swear, a bunch of bullshit always comes up and i never get my food and i wake up pissed off. its genuinely worse than a nightmare, at least with a nightmare I can shake it off because it wasnt real, but when i wake up from these dreams im still pissed because i still want that food, it looked amazing.

 

[Endless Torment]

Imagine not being able to just go to sleep whenever you are in pain, sick, or have a headache and you just have to suffer awake.

 

[ForgedBlades]

I don't get how we haven't evolved past the need for sleep. Seems to me like humans who naturally need less sleep have more time to fuck.

 

[Mesh Gear Fox]

Hell no. I love sleeping, especially sleeping in late. It's the only time I get any peace.

 

[Dysnomia]

Absolutely not. Then I can't dream. However, I will take a pill that eliminates the need to go to the bathroom. Or breathe. Fuck asthma.

 

[Forever A Loner]

No. Such a device would have surely been only developed for one purpose; that being to maximize human efficiency in an increasingly demanding workplace (compare to the use of caffeine), so when you think about it, it really does little in regard to our freedom; the opposite in fact.

 

[dick brain]

I swear there was a movie about this but any time I say that people think I'm remembering Limitless.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

no but I'd crush it up and make a nice neat line out of it

 

[DefinitelyNotMe]

yeah i would like to have an extra 6 hours a day
and i would never be late at work

 

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

Yes. Gimmie dat pill so i can consoom slop.

 

[Lidl Drip]

Hell yeah, I would get so much done and every corner of my house would always be spotless

 

[Dysnomia]

There was that horror movie where some disease makes everyone unable to sleep. But I can't remember the name of it.

 

[Otterly]

And have to face clown world 24 hours a day? Absolutely not. Sounds nightmare ish.
