No, not the type of life where there’s difficulties falling asleep or challenges to stay asleep. This is a life where there is no need for sleep.
Could you imagine having that type of body where it’s wired to stay awake indefinitely? While the rest of the world sleeps you have the ability to keep it moving as if it were still daylight.
This sounds somewhat of a superpower!
Honestly I would be overwhelmed with the amount of awake time I had and the unlimited juice to get things done. I surely would take full advantage of it and here’s how:
This would be the first thing I’d put my time into. Being a part of a big family there is always something to clean or organize and little energy to get it done. My days go by so fast and I hardly ever reach my chore goals.
If I didn’t have to sleep I would be up all through the night getting it done. There would be no one getting in my way or asking me for this, that and the other and it would allow me to enjoy my daytime doing other things.
Cleaning done ✅!
This would be a great advantage for me and change the amount of needlework I’d be able to complete. There are sooooo many projects and techniques I want to get my hands on. With no need for sleep I would be able to make my loved ones more things as well as myself.
I love giving things away as gifts but there are also so many things I’ve wanted to make for myself as well like crocheted pajama pants, crocheted dresses, knitted socks, cardigans and more. I also want to learn how to do macramé and different forms of weaving threads.
This would be life changing for my needlework time.
Projects Complete ✅!
There’s a reason I didn’t just write reading for this title. I would literally dive into books. Let me be honest, I usually have very limited time on my hands and reading is pretty much the last thing I ever do (well besides reading Hive posts lol).
I used to love reading books and spending time in other worlds as well as diving into knowledge. I know there are other ways (the internet etc.) to grab information and intelligence but to me reading books really enhances one’s understanding. I would read for several hours a day or night and fall in love with it all over again.
Novels Read ✅
With so little time, energy and lack of sleep there are many people and places I seldom get to visit. With this new superpower of staying awake I would use it to visit loved ones who live far from us. I would spend a full weekend at each place getting some quality time in.
I would travel to fun places with my family and exotic places with my husband. Of course I would be the designated driver since I won’t be falling asleep on the road. I’d prefer not to fly because I would have to stay awake for the entire experience…I have never been on an airplane and have an extreme fear of it. 😵💫
Traveling Accomplished ✅!
Time is so precious. The fact that we need rest and have to sleep 💤, that gives us limited time for other activities. Life without sleep would have a tremendous impact on how much I’m able to do and get done. It would almost be as if the world stands still and you get to keep going.
It would be like a head start to each day… a chance to get ahead of what’s going on around you and get things done.
Of course there are so many more things I would do with this extra time but these 4 things are the first that come to mind.
