To be honest Nudge, If they can't grasp the basics do we really want them being awake for 24 hours??? Personally I think it would be a blessing if they were out of our hair for 8 hours of the day..

So mourning for an extra eight hours a day or being awake during an illness is a side effect? I don’t think so, that’s an inherit reality of it. An extra 8 hours a day a depressed person can contemplate suicide, extra eight hours of pain from illness. There are negatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are negatives Negatives in certain life situations, sure. I think it's fairly safe to assume though that in an alternative reality where sleep isn't a thing, human brains and bodies would have evolved to live without it, and there would be other biological mechanisms of mental and physical recovery.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 25, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 25, 2022 Depends how far you want to push the side effects thing. Can you guarantee that I wouldn't simply get bored being constantly awake? Of course I'd love to effectively double my leisure time every day but life for me is designed too much around that day/night cycle. The whole not having a break thing would be weird. It would be like books not having chapters and being one wall of text or TV series that didn't have series or even episodes, just one huge long video. Going to bed and getting back up is also a great way to put a shit day behind you and having a fresh start the next day. As a bit of a night owl, though, I do see the temptation. As a compromise, I'd love to be able to get away with 4 hours a sleep each night instead of needing 7-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Having to constantly be awake will increase overthinking, thus increasing anxiety. Anxiety leads to stress and depression. Being a parent, you absolutely adore sleep 2nd to your children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted May 26, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 26, 2022 I wonder what we'd use as a method for decoupling ourselves from the previous day or a bad day if sleep wasn't an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could extend the analogy to turn Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter into a single film instead of a series. Stuff is good in somewhat digestible chunks.

Lay in a hammock with a drink in a hand and watch the sunrise. At least that's what I'd do Meditation would be much more popular. I'm sure illegal drugs that knock you out for a few hours would be a thing, too. I think in general, the brain would have developed to process and regulate emotions better, and be more resilient to stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because being unconscious (whether from anesthesia, oxygen deprivation, psychoactive substances, blunt trauma, etc) and sleeping are two very different neurological states.

I think in general, the brain would have developed to process and regulate emotions better, and be more resilient to stress. But all those fun activities lead to sleepy time or shutdown time. I think we'd actually learn to control our minds better like you stated. We'd also be able to shut out external stimuli to get some pseudo-rest.
