what if every time you shit the bed a fairy visited you and left you a crisp five dollar bill

 

[GonzoCR]

I've honestly gotten scared thinking about how much of my life I've wasted sleeping. So I'd rather never need to sleep.

 

[snacknuts]

+1 for getting rid of sleep

 

[The Boom Camel]

I want to remind y'all that this isn't just about time. Sweat is icky. Piss is nasty. Diarrhea and constipation are awful.

All of those things are not that bad at all compared to getting all the time lost to sleep back. This feels like a no-brainer to me. No sleep all the way.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Sleep by a landslide.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

I was in the bathroom for over 4 hours this morning. Wanted to fucking die. The struggle is real with IBS.

I feel your pain. People saying there is no reason to choose never having to shit again, you really don't understand.

 

[PSqueak]

Well think about the implications of never needing to excrete.

That means you have a digestive system that functions at 100% efficiency as to not generate waste.
You effectively get nourishment and goodies from absolutely anything.

It's entirely possible that your body would improve in several other ways besides not having to crap, it could even give you as a side effect no need to sleep anymore too.

 

[rogue74]

No sleep. I'd be able to get so much more done. I don't know why anyone would choose anything else.

Because sleep isn't just about being tired. It also gives you a mental break from all the problems you may be going through - a chance to escape. On top of that, I would think eventually the days will seem interminable. Imagine how much companies would exploit workers if there was no physical need for sleep.

 

[Merkunt]

No sleep. Essentially an extra 8 hours of free time, every day.

More like, 8 extra hours of work.

 

[TheLetdown]

Easy answer.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

The argument is one-sided and that's even without the fact that sex involves excretion.

 

[Fenderputty]

Sleep. That way I can enjoy my extra time by taking longer shits

 

[DiabloTheGrey]

Using the bathroom and not going to bed at a decent hour are about the only times I actually get any real down time in my household, so I'd rather not have to sleep again.

 

[zeemumu]

Sleep. The shit I could accomplish...

 

[kswiston]

Because sleep isn't just about being tired. It also gives you a mental break from all the problems you may be going through - a chance to escape. On top of that, I would think eventually the days will seem interminable. Imagine how much companies would exploit workers if there was no physical need for sleep.

To be clear, I assume picking sleep means that only I no longer need sleep. If everyone gets no sleep as default, forget that.

 

[Grym]

Sleep. Lots more time (and my house would have a bunch of empty rooms with endless possibilities...think of the kingly bathroom I could build to "excrete" in!)

 

[capitalCORN]

The Twitter empire I could build without sleep...

 

[DigtialT]

Never sleeping would be hell physiologically so I'll take never having to excrete i guess. Both aren't good, without sweat you will overheat fast.

 

[AtomskEater]

No sleep, especially if I can still opt to sleep if I want to. Finally, even more time to complain about how little time I have to accomplish things while I browse neogaf!

 

[Epsilon-delta]

To be clear, I assume picking sleep means that only I no longer need sleep. If everyone gets no sleep as default, forget that.

Your assumption is correct.

 

[Mechanized]

I'd like to say I had a mild form of IBS, but I remember the days I would shit for a hour while in tears from the pain. Like a knife gutting me alive, praying to god it would end. I changed up my diet and it went away. I don't know if that's how it's supposed to work, but it did. Gave up carbonated drinks and started eating less, along with a bit of exercise, hasn't come back.

No need isn't the same as you cant, if you want a mental break you'd take a nap, this "power" would only mean you don't have to and in practice it would mean people would take naps like, once a week or every few days rather than daily.

 

[zewone]

I hate sleeping.

Easy answer.

 

[Flux]

Removing sleep is a no brainer. That's 6-8hours vs what.. An hour tops?

 

[Hippopuncher12]

No sleep. I could actually put a dent in my backlog with those extra 8ish hours a day.

 

[Ramma2]

I think the better decision here is no sleep vs no eating. When I consider the time and money I have to sink into thinking about food, purchasing food, preparing, then eating, then cleaning up from cooking, THEN finally excreting it all out - if we could just do away with that whole system? That makes is a real hard call between no sleeping and no eating.

Edit - not to mention if you take away sleep, that's easily 1-2 more meals per day which really drives up the cost and the amount of shit you're dealing with daily.

 

[kswiston]

Your assumption is correct.

The human race would go extinct from a lack of reproduction if infants and toddlers suddenly needed to be entertained 24 hours a day.

 

[pigeon interrupted]

We spend roughly a third of our lives sleeping. Being tired can make you miserable and error-prone.

I like sleeping.

Pissing, shitting and sweating is often inconvenient and sometimes uncomfortable. Always gross.

Not choosing either and you can't make me

 

[The Artisan]

option 3: never need to eat

 

[Jarmel]

Easily taking a shit. Why you ask? Because if people didn't need to sleep then workdays would be extended. You ain't getting an extra 8 hours off when you can be in a cubicle.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

no sleep obvs

 

[Media]

Would rather sleep. You know how precious it is when you get very little of it. I would love to sleep a full 8 hours straight omg.

Pooping is gross and I can do without it.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

This is a no brainer. No sleep. You could accomplish so much with the extra time.

 

[Moppeh]

Sleep, of course.

 

[The_Kid]

shitting. But that's only because I have heavy OCD and the sight of excrement makes me a nervous wreck, etc.

 

[Aarglefarg]

I wish I could do both at the same time.

Give it a few years.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

IBS is almost entirely caused by diet, yes. Problem is, the range of foods that irritate IBS is so broad that it's like...half of all common foods, healthy or not. And they don't all affect everyone the same. For example, I can't eat any corn products. That includes corn syrup, corn meal, actual corn, popcorn, corn chips, none of it.

 

[kiguel182]

Does no sleep means never tired? If so then no sleep for sure. I would get so much stuff done, I'm always tired.

 

[Servbot24]

Sleep of course. The possibilities for what I could accomplish would be incredible.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

The human race would go extinct from a lack of reproduction if infants and toddlers suddenly needed to be entertained 24 hours a day.

Robots.

 

[old]

You think the answer is sleep. But if that happned, we'd all be expected to start working 16 hour days instead of 9.

 

[Hindl]

Excrete. I like sleeping, plus I wouldn't do anything with the extra time anyway. And anyway, while you're not sleeping, everyone else is and everything is still closed. You'd basically be able to use that extra time not sleeping to just watch Netflix or play games. And lack of time isn't the reason I don't do more of that

 

[Lucky Seven]

Why would you NOT pick Sleep, OP? That's assuming this is bestowed on me only. Otherwise, no excretion.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Shit. Man sleeping is fine, but never needing to take a shit would be a god send.

 

[Einchy]

How is this even a question? Sleep.

So much time is wasted on sleep.

 

[fireatwill]

i'd also choose sleep.

however, would I still have the option to sleep if i wanted to? if I choose the sleep option, would I just be awake for the rest of my life?

As much as I like doing things and think that sleep is sometimes a waste of time, sleep is great for time traveling on trips. fall asleep before the plane takes off, wake up when the plane lands at your destination. you just time traveled!

 

[ZOONAMI]

I would not excrete, so long as ejaculate isn't considered an excretion. Also that I could still eat and drink things and not die or get fat.

Eh, maybe I'd rather not sleep.

 

[Caleb187]

Finishing a sleep makes me feel poopy.
Finishing a poop makes me feel sleepy.

Make of that what you will.

 

[Dali]

Never sleep.

You'd be kinda a serious piece of garbage if you didn't have to shit. You'd take "acts like their shit don't stank" and elevate it to a whole new level. "Madam... I actually don't shit at all." *smug face*

Yeah fuck that.

 

[robotrock]

Wait, if I never need to sleep, does that mean I will never feel tired and miserable?
