Some interesting thoughts there:

Sleep is too good to miss out on.

Too right! I love my sleep, usually get between 7-9hrs and can't function well without it. I was just wondering what if I just didn't need it at all?

If you never slept, life would be a horrendous seamless event. The great thing about sleep is that you can wake up with an entirely different view of the world every day. That is a wonderful gift, and one that most of the animal kingdom appreciates.

On that episode of American Dad I watched, Stan took a pill which made him feel refreshed as if he'd had a full night's sleep... imagine if you could get that feeling without having to actually waste 1/3 of your life in bed (based on 8hrs sleep per night)? If I could, I definately would!

If EVERYONE didn't sleep, I suspect we'd all just end up working longer, relaxing less, and generally in roughly the same position we all are now.

Agreed - I wouldn't like that at all! I would only like it if I was the only exception, and able to get one up on society through my special advantage
