If there was a pill or tablet that made it possible to NEVER have to sleep again, would you take it?

I might take them if I needed to get something done in a hurry and sleep or being tired was getting in the way of that. I agree with anonymili posted above... dreams are so vital for or health and well being, and being asleep gets rid of stress that we would otherwise feel. Sleeping gives us a break in every way. I think they would be really great in the use for people traveling long distances to get rid of jet lag though. It would be so interesting to see how many people would use them if they were actually available.

No I definitely would not be interested in taking it. I might not get more than an average of 6 hours sleep per night but I do appreciate that 6 hours that I DO get! Sleep helps us process what has happened during the day, our dreams (and nightmares) help us rid ourselves of some of the stresses of the previous day. Without sleep how would we do this? Because of this, I'd say I'd like to keep my sleep as I quite enjoy it LOL :)

I'm a huge fan of sleep myself! Sleep is such a huge part of our health and wellbeing. We get to switch off when we sleep, and, even if it is for 6 hours it's a great thing! I think I'm with you... I wouldn't take this pill unless I really needed to be awake for some period of time.

Ooh you're cheating now LOL. You said you would take it if you needed to stay awake for a while but in your initial question you said it's a pill that will prevent you from EVER sleeping! Sometimes I'd like to stay awake for a day or so but if I could do it without feeling like a zombie for the whole time then I'd probably try it too :)

No I wouldn't take it because I love to sleep. I don't get to sleep much, but this is the only time I get to myself. So I don't want to take that away.

If that would make me NEVER sleep again, I won't take it! I don't want to be left alone by the world at night *laughs* and I am a huge fans of sleeping too! I think it releases the bad toxins during the day. Also, I enjoy my imaginary world just before the bed time, I would be sad if there is nothing to look forward to at night. And I am not a busy person or someone really important that has a lot to finish and time is never enough, I would prefer to indulge myself in sleeping!

Sorry. I don't want to have such a pill or tablet. You know why??? Because then how i can see all those beautiful dreams those i normally see when i goes to bed. Then all this'll be over. It'll be very difficult to live without dreams. Hello friend its dreams those take us to different heights because for those dreams we work hard to make them reality. What you think???

No thanks. I love my sleep and i don't want to miss it. Moreover there are lot of health benefits when one has adeqate sleep like one is refreshed, is not tired, is relax, body & mind is energetic. Besides sleep deprivation is harmful for human being as it can lead to lot of health problems. So taking 7to 8 hours of sleep is good habit. and taking nap in afternoon also does wonders to one's health.

Yes I would prefer to have such pills as I will be able to perform more duties. We all waste one third part of our valuable time in sleeping, we all knows but nobody tries to control it. If such pills are invented by scientist, then this will be a great gift to the world. But we should not be exhausted by less sleeping. After sleep we experience more freshness. Our body actvitates fully for work. All functions work. The pills should have such all facilities.

I wont take such tablets, because it affects our health. If we dont sleep, it is not possible to concentrate and our work gets spoiled. We need sleep atleast for 4 hours a day.

I understand how important sleep is but I cant help think its a waste of life. If the pill ment you were never tired again the yes I would. Though I wouldnt want it offered to any of my children. I love watching them when they are sleeping not too mention this is the only time I sit down.
