robinblokeI've come to the conclusion that sleep is
a) Overrated and
b) Annoying.
Now I like to snooze as much as the next person, but frankly I'd rather be up and about and doing things - except when I'm waking up, but why do we need to sleep so much? It's annoying; we get 24 hours of life a day, so for an average person of say 7 hours sleep a night thats nearly a third of your life asleep dammit! Time wasted! Time you could be living.
I am currently averaging around four and a half hours sleep a night, which tends to make me somewhat dosey in the afternoon (a genetic hangback from neolithic times apparently, someone told me once, where we used to sleep in the afternoon as well as night... random possibly wrong trivia) but then I'm at work in the afternoons anyway, so thats lost time as far as I'm concerned anyway.
More wittering, I'm getting good at that.
Anyway, so yes, it's all about maximising time of life, if I was a battery I would want to be a long life one; get as much time for me as possible and minimise downtime, more time to live and experience life, so glad I walk to work, 20 mins out my day for travel, could be 1 or 2 hours instead, but that means more time to live.
Got this one life, I'm going to make the most of it.
