Let's say a pill (or something else, use your imagination) is invented that you take once a month. If you take it, you will no longer need to sleep during that month. You will keep feeling well rested and you'll have energy to spare.
What would a world like this look like?
You suddenly have a ton of extra spare time, no longer need a bed (unless you use beds for reasons other than sleeping of course), no morning coffees, etc. etc...

What would your daily life look like? How would it affect you?

So, I'll stop having Chronic Fatigue? I'll take this pill even if it's experimental.
"I am the Bone of my Sword
Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood
I have created over a Thousand Blades
Unaware of Loss,
Nor aware of Gain.
Withstood Pain to create Weapons, Waiting for one’s Arrival
I have no Regrets. This is the only Path
My whole life was Unlimited Blade Works"

No longer need but I still can right? That'd be nice, to be able to sleep but not need to.

If you can fall asleep, sure. You won't feel tired though, so you might not fall asleep.

Assuming I continue spending a good average of 7-8 hours sleeping throughout my life, not having to sleep for a lifetime would let me be active for an extra one-third of my life that would've have been spend just sleeping. I would love to afford that luxury of having more time to do stuff.

I think about it all the time... I'd study and watch more anime, definitely :p

But it would only be any good if only I - or a very few people - could do it, cause otherwise everbody would just end up working more hours a day, possibly even a larger portion than 1/3 :/

of course. I guess you'll have less than a few month to live as a side effect.




But you'll still take damage!

I'd want to be able to not have to sleep, but I also want to have to sleep as well. Not having to sleep would be nice for the obvious reasons of having more time. At the moment I haven't been getting much sleep anyway, so not getting tired would be great.

I would have more time to contemplate on the meaning of life and big questions such as: "Does God have a cheeky nandos?", "Do rhinos masturbate?" and "How large is Hugh Hefner's package?"
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past."

While never having to sleep sounds like a good idea, staying up 24/7 would be BAD for many reasons:

- Arm/Legs, and other parts of the body not given time to heal when they are heavily worked through a physical activity
- Aging process would speed up tremendously
- Increase in depression, because the best thing about being asleep, is that it can make you temporarily forget about things that make you sad.

I'd double the amount of everything I do. I could work out twice or thrice, watch more anime, read more books and write more.

It'll be like adding a few extra years.

There is a sleeping schedule called "uberman" where you only need to sleep two hours per day but feel just as rested as you would with a full eight hour sleep. With my extra time I would watch anime and work on projects such as my novel and Youtube videos.

I'd have a love-hate relationship with a world like that. On one hand, I'd love all the extra free time I get. I work 9 to 5 three days a week (technically 5, but thankfully I work at home 2 days of the week), so I don't have as much free time as I did when I was back in college.

On the other hand, I don't know if I could go without dreams, honestly. I sometimes go back to sleep after I've woken up, not because I'm still tired, but because I want to have a few extra dreaming moments.

This. I always feel like there's so much to do yet constrained due to biological needs for sleeping.

I've taken drugs where due to the effects, I would only sleep about 2-3 hours everyday, though the lack of fatigue is disputable.

All I would do is just watch more anime, finished the Nodame Cantabile TV series in a week like that. Not a fan of it.
