A pointless rant about sleeping that will possibly leave you drowsy!

+


I must hand it down to you, dear reader: I love sleeping, so much to the point that I hate sleeping so much. I mean, sleeping feels great and refreshing and all that – it’s pretty much common sense – however, once you really think about it, sleeping can be a tremendously wasteful activity, which occupies about one third of our lifetime, serving no other purpose than resting and providing the occasional dream.

Yeah, I’m only talking like that because I’ve just woken up from a good night’s sleep, otherwise it would be most likely that my mumbling typose progression of gibberish would not be sufficient to provide pathways for communication. On the other hand, I’ve just had a good night’s sleep and I feel compelled to write and publish this pointless gibberish, so… that really doesn’t speak much about the unabashed effectiveness of sleeping towards getting things dnoe.

Once we think about it, sleeping is a huge waste of time, but it’s also a highly pleasurable and rewarding waste of time. It’s pretty much an end in/of itself… so I suppose I’d better leave it at that. Regardless, I think it would be wonderful if sleeping would be an optional – rather than a mandatory – activity. Just think about the things you’d be able to get done with that extra amount of time! Oh well… we can only dream, I guess.

What? I told you beforehand this would be a pointless rant.
