I just wish I could avoid sleep.  I figure I can sleep all I want when I die, so why waste time now, right?  Well…it is a funny thing because I am finding I need sleep more and more and it really pisses me off.  I used to be able to function off a couple hours of sleep without any trouble.  Now if I don’t get at least 4 hours I can’t function at all and if I really want to be alert I need more like 6 hours a day.  Usually I can sleep 4 and then get a nap at some point in the day, but it drives me nuts.

There are so many things I would rather do than sleep.  It is not something I look forward to like most people.   I just see it as a total waste of time even though I understand how essential it is.  I just wish I could have a spare battery I could charge so I never had to stop in order to get rest.

The only thing is the only time I stay still enough to really think is when I am about to go to sleep.  Most of the day I am just going to fast that I don’t stop and just think.  Those few minutes before I fall asleep I get great ideas and important things will come into my mind that I need to be sure to do the next day.   I try to keep a pen and paper next to me so I can write them down before I forget.  

I also notice my recovery after a workout is so much faster if I get ample rest.  Otherwise, it seems to take twice as long for the soreness to dissipate.   So I guess I should welcome sleep and not be hasty, but I still feel like I am wasting valuable time when I am sleeping instead of getting things done.
