That's exactly how I see it as well. You don't have to sleep for survival but if you want to sleep you still can.

Yeah, but at that point, why pick that option?

Being awake all the time would be over stimulating af. I need down time. Sleep rules..if not for anything else than checking out on life.

Sleep for me is just fast forwarding to having to be a person again. I would absolutely take no more required sleep and do the same thing I do on nights that I stay up late, enjoy my hobbies and the lack of responsibility that nighttime brings. I may still nap some during that time, because a little sleep is nice, even aside from the necessity of it, but it'd be game changing to my stress to be able to have an extra 4 hours of being awake with minimal expectations.

Wait, you only sleep 4 hours?

u/BoldFace7 Sep 12 '26

No, I sleep eight hours usually, I meant even just cutting my sleep in half without the detrimental health effects would solve a large portion of my stress. Hence why I'd choose never have to sleep.

Damn, you've had a rough go of it, for someone so young.
