WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE TO SLEEP?

catlover — Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:51:08 GMT

I love sleeping...............taking an afternoon nap-pure joy.

However-when you're sleeping-you don't know that you're sleeping-so how could you like it so much?

A friend of mine said people like sleeping because when they're sleeping they have no commitments.

Why do you like sleeping?

Napping during the day gives me a headache so I don’t do it.

I had a college roommate that slept a lot. She was depressed and wanted to escape reality.

It gives my aches and pains a break from gravity & it's a no-cal activity. It's just so good for the body and mind. Quiet.

Restful sleep just feels so good.

Maybe like me she got to escape the nutcases she was forced to deal with.

Like the person who texts you at 6am to tell you it's snowing.

" sleep, perchance to dream..." Shakespeare.

I like it b/c of the health benefits.

Sleep is necessary.

I love to sleep - it's restorative. I love dreaming too.

Sleep is restorative and healing. If you don't have it I think you might die

I like naps ecause it feels soooo good when I wake up. That 20-30 minutes refreshed my body and mind and i'm ready to continue the day.

When I was still working I could not think of anything more wonderful than getting a nap in the afternoon (it didn't happen very often on a weekend). I always felt rejuvenated and I was looking forward to lots of naps when I retired.

It doesn't work though. If I do take a nap I have a hard time sleeping at night. So, I just don't nap anymore.

I can't nap either. It's not restful to me. My mind is constantly racing.

I'm so tired at night, that I can't help but fall asleep.

I know sleep is necessary but imagine if you didn't need it at all. That would mean you would have sooOOO much more time to do stuff and not have to worry about running out of time to do it.

@cherry, I don't know if you'd die without sleep. You'd definitely have some sort of physical and mental effects from not sleeping.

I don't know how long the brain can resist the urge to sleep...

When I run out of energy or I am stressed a nap always helps me. I feel sorry for people who have insomnia.

I wouldn't say that I like to sleep, I must sleep to survive.

I sleep because my body needs it to repair and restore itself. I never nap during the day. It may work for some people, but it interferes with my ability to sleep at night. If I feel myself beginning to drift off during the day, I get up and get moving.

Sometimes when I get up extra early, I take a nap in the afternoon. I feel so refreshed, and sometimes my sleep feels better than at night in my bed. What a change from my working days when I was up at 4:45 every morning.

Humans are predators and of course they need sleep. They can choose not to sleep, but they need it and eventually they will sleep.

For me, it's not a matter of "liking to sleep." I have to do it!

You see, when I was a kid, I didn't like taking naps, so I have hours and hours of nap time to use up before they expire when I die.

So - every afternoon, I have a nap time!
