What would you do if you didn't have to sleep?

    Everyone at some point in their lives has wished to master a certain time-consuming hobby- be a fluent Spanish speaker, play Piano perfectly, watch every episode of the West Wing (not quite a skill, but still time consuming) etc. but generally life gets in the way and we find ourselves strapped for time and too tired after work/college to put a lot of effort into something in the evening (there are of course exceptions to this and people do have hobbies/skills they practice in their spare time). So what if you didn't have to sleep? Let's say between the hours of 11pm-7am you have 8 hours with no work to do (or children to look after if you're a parent), how would you spend it?


    I'd like to get really good at piano, better at French and maybe pick up another language and read a lot of world history. Around exam time I'd probably get more study for college done too. There are also loads of TV shows that look good but I just can't give up the time to watch all of the episodes, so I'd like to watch some of those too.

    What would you do?

    I'd get through the books I have in the to read pile gone through faster. There must be other stuff, but this is the main one that comes to mind.

    Knowing me, I'd probably just end up procrastinating even more :o But ideally, I'd read all the books I have that haven't been read, do more studying, learn to play piano, get back into swimming/gym, watch all the tv shows/movies I've lined up... there's loads.

    Yeah waste it or spend it trying to figure out how best to waste the other 16 hours.

    I'd roam the city streets in the dark hours ensuring the safety of the citizens like a superhero. I'd fight crime, or maybe commit it, depending on my mood.

    So I'd be a criminal mastermind or a guardian angel.

    I'm awake now for 32 hours. I decided to read straight through the night and had a coffee this morning.
    I just lost my temper a bit so i'm definitely a bit cranked. I'm going to see it through for another couple of hours and get back into a decent sleep pattern.

    Spend all that time trying to think of a way to gain more time by eliminating eating and shiting.
