Sleep

[phil06]

Does anybody find sleep a pointless exercise? I sometimes wish I could run 24 hours per day and also last without having food either

No, I love sleep & bed.

A life without sleep and food? Never!

Sleep and food are my life

[Darksky]

Food, yeah I could do without that. One pill once a day would do me if such a thing was ever invented. I've never been a foodie, food is fuel and I eat to live, not live to eat. Always been like it.

However...sleep, well no one could ever take that from me without a fight. Me and my bed have a great relationship. I've had two nights of insomnia now and I hate it because I can't sleep. It will come back and I can't wait.
Actually I think sleep is very important for anxiety sufferers, it kind of resets the body and without it we are a whole lot worse.

Sleep is a respite from our issues. How on earth could you cope with no respite from your OCD and anxiety, Phil?

Let's just call it a day then, eh?

Honestly, Phil

Well, I gotta go with Phil on this one. My mind races when I get to bed and I come up with all these creative, ambitious ideas that I would love to get up and get started on, but I know I MUST sleep, so I force myself to lie there, and toss and turn trying not to wake up hubby. Of course I finally fall asleep probably between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. and could then sleep till noon, but then I can't get all my ambitions done. I used to think sleeping was a total waste of time, but intellectually I know our bodies need it, so I need to get into a better sleep routine. I just retired 2 weeks ago so my routine and cycles are all off, especially since I just spent a week on the opposite coast in a different time zone.

Food? Eh, most of the time it's a pain in the butt and I would love to take a pill instead, but I would hate to give up my occasional splurges of chocolate, potato chips, and ice cream.

That’s totally how I feel and same here I would keep the odd treats but food yes a food pill would be easier

and yes it’s hard to drift off to sleep sometimes I feel like a computer and I don’t feel human and almost wonder if it would be easier if our brains where on a computer. I have solipsism to and free will worries so I fear I just live a life and everything is predetermined so yes it all feels pointless I worry I have no free will to make choices

I’ve had trouble with sleep for atleast 15 years or more becuase when I’m inactive I’m not able to live life I feel it’s wasted time I wish I could party all night or operate 24 hours like a machine life would be easier that maybe sleep once a month? That’s my ideal world
