Do ghosts sleep?

You just blew my mind.

And now I'm not going to be able to fall asleep because I'm going to imagine ghosts sleeping around me.

They like, only appears at certain times of the day, so I'd imagine they do a lot of sleeping in their downtime. Crossing the spheres is probably pretty tiring work.
 
Not to blow your bubble or anything but... ghosts don't actually exist. Neither does Santa Claus. Nor the tooth fairy.

Sorry. :/

No, ever heard of the term "restless souls"? there's your answer

/thread

No the "restless" in "restless souls" is referring to them not getting their eternal rest, like being Kennedy dead. That don't got anything to do with sleeping.

Well I was just thinking like, suppose there is an afterlife, but you don't sleep because you don't get tired... because you don't need to eat, etc. What if ghosts don't have the ability to sleep, like those Nam vets on X-Files? If you went to heaven and they said you can't sleep but your idea of heaven is taking naps, what the ****, you know?

...or does it???? It depends on how you interpret the phrase.
 
If the Spirits from Bleach and Shaman King are of any indication then yes They DO sleep when they get tired or Koed.

*hears someone whisper something from off stage* What! What do you mean that works of fiction can't prove weither or not ghosts sleep in real life let alone wither they actually excist or not.!!!

*clears throat* Ahem. Anyhow I'd say it depends on the ghost in question.

I'd be goddamned pissed and I'd hate god and jesus more than I already do. There's nothing I like more than sleepin' in.

What if it means "restless" as in "The Young and the Restless?" Does that mean ghosts are slutty horndog skanks?

Restless in that title doesn't mean they're all slutty horndogs skanks, ghosts have standards too, you know? They won't just screw Brenda because Miguel is sleeps with Sofia's dead step sister that was brought back to life....


I don't know where I was going with that...

Um, of course they masturbate. You think those are actually cobwebs you feel on your face every now and again?

the real question is: do ghosts masterbate? I mean, what's the point in being a ghost if you can't?

To have sex with the living, see my first post in this thread for a insightful comment on this theory.

Brian Burke punched my mom
I seen a ghost with my father and brother. We were walking across town to the library and always passed through the cemetery near the old museum so I stopped to take a piss and on a grave stone then some ghost women appeared for a few seconds and disappeared.

It looked a little like this.

Why would a ghost look like a human being...wouldn't a ghost have a formless entity?

Well, they might not need to sleep because sleep is a corporeal need, and souls don't have those...they don't need to eat, either.

But, I imagine they might sleep anyway, just out of habit.
