Thread: Drug that replaces sleep - hypothetical

Hmm. That's an interesting question. My imidiate response is that I'd want to use the drug when I was having fun and wanted to continue doing that, and sleep when that felt better. However there would be political implications to this as well. Since you no-longer needed to sleep at night, would you be expected - or even required - to work some extra hours?

Oh man...that is the worst thing I've heard all morning.

Edit: To respond to the post, I agree. Its nice to shut off conscious thought. Then again that can be done through meditation. So, maybe pop a pill, manually shut off your thoughts for a half hour and then get rolling again? Could be feasible.

As the one above me said, though, if you're having a good time there'd be no problem.I assume I speak for most of the forum when I say I'd certainly miss my dreams, though.
