"Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life." (Virginia Woolf)
Sleep is a luxury which most of us fail to acknowledge. Insomnia is a condition that imprisons more than 15% of our population. Not only do these people have to go about their every day tasks with their gas tank 3/4 empty, but every night they are haunted by the complete lack of control they have in accomplishing a seemingly simple task that everyone else seems to be quite adept at.
All that extra time they've got on their hands. And they have to spend it in the dark.
When did you last think 'If only there were more hours in the day I'd be able to dot dot dot.' Really that whole thought process is just to allow you to nod off without feeling lazy and useless.
All that dot dot dot can't be done without human aid. It's nothing to do with the amount of time you don't have. The bank, shoe repair, and soup kitchen kinda need to be running for you to be involved. See, humans like to think that they're independent. We hate to depend on others for services such as transportation, loans, and advice. Yet we have no problem relying on them for cell service, traffic reports, and corn syrup. Huh.
Sleep eating, on the other hand, is a win-win situation. You get to recharge your body and simultaneously eat your favorite flavor of Haagen Dazs ice cream. To quote Brian Reagan, comedian; "Can life get any better than this? I submit that it cannot!"
