If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
Wow.
None at all?
When I was young I could happily forgo sleep to do things I wanted to do. I chose other things regularly. Nocturnal art. Deadlines, quiet uninterrupted nights, how else was I going to get stuff done?
I remember when I was a fiber artist, I put a whole spinning wheel together with a sleeping baby on my lap long into the night. I then had to try it out at three am because when else did I have? My babies weren’t the best sleepers, there were constant chores and obligations, with four little kids I was mostly running around keeping them fed and safe and the house from being distroyed I do get the question because in those days sleep was in short supply and if I could have, I would have skipped even more of it.
It’s just that now I have more time and I dearly love to sleep. After years of not, I really don’t want to exchange my sleep for any other activities.
