I wish humans could sleep away boredom

Do you ever have days which you feel would be better spent asleep?

I really have a passion for sleeping and wish it was something humans could do at will. The koala bear can sleep up to 22 hours per day and when you think of all the misspent waking hours we have by being unoccupied it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Think of it this way; if you could put yourself into hibernation mode whenever you cared you would:

1) save money - no spending while you're in the land of nod!
2) lose weight easily - you're never hungry in the land of nod!
3) never be in that dangerous state of being bored yet restless!

Just like an electrical appliance you could switch yourself on and off when necessary -I imagine people in the future will be able to do just that.

    I wish I didn't need to sleep so I could surf the internet or play games or something or read instead. The worst part about sleeping is going to bed. I don't want to get out of bed and I like sleeping, but I hate going to bed. I would rather stay up and do more stuff.

    besides, it would be more productive to accomplish something than to sleep all the time.

    I understand this a bit to well I have slept away the last 12 years .I was so tired ,I was sick with a low thyroid to walk to the bathroom felt like trudging a mile .I have MS so i would only be awake 2 hours a day if that. I turned around from being a clerical Jazz dancer and having 5 kids at 4 and missed all that time .Now part ,I couldn't help I had my lung taken out from getting pneumonia . what happened was my family went on, I would wake up and nobody was ever here .I went all that time nobody talked to me. I was forgotten. When I did walk up I would feel lost and depressed ,I wondered what was I here for. Then I new I was going to die if I didn't push pass the pain,I saw my kids go to college and I felt like how can that be they were just babies .I missed it Now I am 54 It;s over and life went on without me .I do on the bright side Have a lot of money saved ,not kidding either .Live each day dear because it's over so fast and you will wish you could go back ..Now since I have been silent for all these years ,If I talk to anyone I cant finish a thought without staring another I cant shut up 12 years of thought all in my head that need to come out .Enjoy your life dear I started riding my bike and going fr walks doing yoga to just get moving ,I feel so much better but I cant get time back? I can't work like I did I was a midwife and massage therapist. So I teach on line and after 4 degrees and 54 different certifications I have wrote a book now I am going to write some kids books. I am taking piano agai n I played but forgot over the years. I have been sleeping so long I didn't know my way through a place I lived my life. I have been married to a Doctor for 35 year he was my HS sweetheart. It isn't what people think .He works 7/a week and is gone 7AM to 10 PM .now my kids are gone.I still feel like I shod just sleep until my time is done .I am lonely. I feel better push past feel like I been beat with a bat from the pain and fatigue that you won't understand unless you have it. I did't think I could walk again but step by step I moved until I got moving which took a year to make it half way down my street . after that I went a block then my bike now I freaked my family out because I went to a mall and got massage .and didn't get home until late .They do it to me all the time .my point is I am fighting to have some life before I die .If your a healthy person, live have fun please,
    do that for those who can't.

    just close your eyes, let your thoughts flash before your eyes and drift of to the land of nod. Works everytime. but be warned, once you start you can't stop and dont eat too much, you'll end up storing fat.

    I do it on weekends. I go into koala bear hibernation mode and only wake up to let my dog out.

    I understand what you're saying but instead of sitting around doing nothing and being bored why don't you make something of that time and pick up a skill, learn something, volunteer, get a job?
