Successive sleep deprivation is overrated.
I used to love being up all night and sleeping all day. Yet I must confess that nowadays, I don’t want it. Although my mind used to work extensively on creativity and logic when the sun is nowhere to be found, lately the only objective it drives me into is to hit the sack. Is it one of the signs of growing old? Perhaps. But I don’t want to accept that I am slowly deteriorating day by day. It is a given fact that we all grow mature physically, mentally and emotionally until our ultimate demise, and we all try to reverse it or perhaps delay the process by taking care of our health thru excercise, diets or what not. Well you know what? We all die and there’s no way to stop it. So I think it must be best to stop wasting time trying to delay Mother Nature, and spend it more wisely on indulgence. Yes. So at least when you die, you die with fulfillment, since you have spent more time in enjoying life and not wasting it on some fruitless way to stop life from ending.
Now here’s the question…is sleep a way of indulgence or another delaying tactic for death?
It sounds stupid to make such a pointless argument, but look at it this way…sleep would be an indulgence since we enjoy sleeping, it is a pastime we love and sometimes we’re deprived of. Sleep is also considered as a delaying tactic for death, because lack of sleep often leads to vulnerability to poor health or illness, leading to death. So should we waste time on sleeping or should we indulge on the luxury of sleeping?
The answer is not both of them, but either one of them.
It’s up to you to decide the purpose of sleep.
But for me…I’d rather sleep on it.
