No just kidding, I would like to not discuss after we dropped points again yesterday..

But saw a good question on some thread yesterday and thought it would be an interesting thought experiment.

They posed the question, if you could take a pill instead of sleep what would you do? Saying that it would completely revive you, so you would wake feeling like you got a full night of sleep. What would you do with all the extra hours.

My first thought is that a pill wouldn't really work, because so much of the fatigue from a day is in your muscle and your body, I just don't see how a pill could refresh your body and blood flow etc. Plus there is the mental feeling from going to and waking up from sleep that is kinda of crucial. So for my own personal experiment I decided that it was a 2 step process, one you take your super pill, then hope into a Cap America or Lebron-like Hyperbolic chamber, which immediately sedates you for one minute, and it refreshes your physical body and provides you with feeling of awaking. So now you have 23 hours and 59 minutes in every day.. What would you do? 

Side questions, what exactly would you feel like? Would this prevent you from every feeling groggy or just kinda of sleepy? Or would it make you always alert and focused like a the effects of a perscription drugs can provide?

Think back to the longest you have ever stayed awake, what kind of feelings do you remember? 

Any way I think in the end it would be great to have the extra hours to do activities and projects but there is something so satisfying about sleep that I am not sure I could do without. Ask 24 year old me and they would be ALL in, but this version, I need my ZZZs.
