what a waste of time

Word on the street is that people spend one third of their life catchin Z’s. Although I’m more inclined to believe that it’s more like a quarter of one’s life is spent in an effort to get more done, but whatever.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the feeling of waking up and realizing you still have an hour to rest before you truly need to get up. The problem is that 25%-33% of your day spent doing nothing is such a waste of time. Imagine how much you could get done if you didn’t have to go to sleep! I can’t get over the idea that so many great things would get accomplished in the world if people weren’t tethered to their body’s need for Z’s. It’d be like a MILLION things! So perhaps a lot of those things might be bad things: “Now that I don’t have to sleep, I have more time to beat my girlfriend.” At the same time though, imagine how many beautiful things could be going on: “Now that I don’t have to sleep, I have more time to eat out my girlfriend….. or make a painting or do something amazing.” The possibilities are essentially endless
