Is it normal to hate sleeping?

54% Normal
8 Comments

From what I read a recommended sleeping period is about 8 hours a day. That means that the average Joe or Jane sleep 1/3 of their life. In other words, if you were to live 60 years, you'd spend 20 years of your life sleeping.
I know that a lot of people like sleeping. However, I hate sleeping - I think sleeping is boring. I only sleep because I HAVE to, not because I want to. Is this normal?

    I love sleeping. I only wake up because I have to.

    There is nothing wrong with you unless you patterns as in sleeping for short periods of time at a time. People with bipolar disorder will go thru cycles where they will sleep less, have relationships they normally never have and make irrational decisions and have alternated periods of depressed mood. Otherwise just enjoy life while the rest of us sleep life away!!!

    Sleeping is one of the best things this life has to offer! There are no boundaries in the land of dreams! If I could, I'd spend most of my time in the land of dreaming.

    before i go to sleep i am like "fuck it i don't want to sleep" and sometimes i end up staying awake all night, but when i sleep i have these weird dreams, like i really live in those, i really can feel pain and feelings (sometimes i fall in love in my dreams and then wake up being sad that i lost that person)...and honestly i love those dreams because it's not that boring after all, you know. but that's just me...i hate sleeping cause i feel like i'm wasting my time doing nothing and i can sleep when i die and yadayada, but at the same time i love the feeling i get in my dreams, haha.

      I agree with you completely...why you ask? lol I am the kind of person that like to sleep and when i do i remember my dreams like 90% of the time....i heard a lot of people don't and i find it odd that they don't remember what they were just dreaming about..I love my dreams good/bad cause my dreams are so out of the box that they for me become a muse to me in my every day life.

    I sleep because otherwise I can't function properly and I get really stressed, but I totally agree. The time we spend sleeping could be used for much more useful stuff. I woulnd't say sleeping is counter-productive only because if most people don't sleep, they won't be able to do well the 'few' tasks they do when awake.

    I'm with you. I tend to only like sleeping if I'm very tired indeed (which rarely happens). If I wake up at 4am and I'm not shattered, I'll most often get up and start doing something.
