Imagine if there was no need for sleep. If our bodies and mind never needed to sleep, imagine what we could accomplish in 24 hours. There always seems to be a need for more time in the day. Which is true. We have so much on our to-do-list every day and in the evening it would be nice to just sit down and relax for as long as possible before heading off to bed. (Most of the time it's finishing our work in overtime, no relaxation, then off to bed probably much later than hoped.) Wouldn't it be wonderful to have enough time to complete our lists and have plenty of time to relax, then one day creeps into the next, no sleep required.
I read about a reporter asking a celebrity, "if you had any special super power, what would it be?" Her response was, "I would like to have the power to have no need for sleep!" Her comment stuck with me, obviously, and I have given that idea much thought. THEN, I realized, if we never slept our lists would get longer and longer and longer. We would overwhelm ourselves with needless tasks, and the thought of our prime time shows starting at midnight gave me a laugh. There would be no down time until we were 6 feet under. So today I'm going to make a point of making a short list of things I have to do and stop worrying about my lists running into each other day after day. There surely isn't anything that has to be done thats life or death. It is what it is! Sleep is what keeps me sane, most of the time. I'd rather have the super power to have laundry wash and fold itself!
