But, but, but, sleeping is the best way to be lazy! 😴

I like a four day workweek model, a few more hours of money earning work 4 days a week and a few more hours of chores and yard work at home over a 3 day weekend seems fair.

reply

Fatter because we'd eat more often lol.

reply

Extra dinner, but more washing up to do too. 😣

reply

No need to wash if you just use them to eat again quick enough.

reply

and we don't get tired or beat up or what? we're just limitless robot men? i'd definitely work more. build some pyramids and shit.

reply

Definitely crazier (pun intended) ☺
Would watch more strange docus and eventually land in mental hospital.
Paranoia! 🚑​

We'd sleep anyway. It's the human condition to do things we don't necessarily have to do.

what if we couldn't sleep?

reply

That's a totally different question and it leads down a lot of different roads to a multitude of different answers. And depends a lot on whether we’ve slept before or not. Coz there’s scientific theory that suggests we need sleep to work things out in our subconscious, and might go crazy otherwise.

So I’d say, if we lost our ability to sleep, we’d be trying our hardest to get that ability back. But if we never had, we might be curious to try it if we saw other animals doing it, but it wouldn’t possess the same urgency and so we’d just spend a lot more of oir time resting while awake. I think we’d probably day dream a lot more

Pyjamas would be a thing of the past.

They would make us work 24/7.

i think we would have a 15 hour work day.

reply

Probably. But if we didn't need sleep than we probably wouldn't need rest either. We would be like machines. Or at least treated as such.
