I can really relate to that. I don't know anyone who loves sleeping as much as I do (except maybe my mom. It's probably genetic). It is my number 1 favourite "activity". So I know it's very easy to be made to feel guilty about it, since it doesn't benefit anyone but ourselves: we don't contribute, produce or consume whilst asleep. However, another way of looking at it is that at least we get our kicks for free. No need for harmful and unaffordable substances to alter our state of mind! :D
Then again similarly to drug addiction it can be seen as escapist behaviour, a fleeing from reality and in some cases it is a symptom of depression. So we probably should try harder to improve our waking lives in any way we can. That way it would be easier to resist the urge to climb into bed to leave it all behind.
IIN that my favorite and happiest time each day is when I'm asleep?
