Thoughts on... sleep

What's sleep I ask myself? I haven't gotten enough of this the past couple of days. I heard people say that the optimal amount of sleep varies from person to person, but for me pretty much ANY sleep would be most beneficial. I think that I probably should be getting at least eight hours a night in order to stay at an optimal brain functionality. If only there were more hours in the day. How great would that be?

Imagine with me for just a second that we had an unlimited amount of time to finish homework comfortably and then sleep until our hearts content. We would never have to worry about being late to anything. On the other side of this argument, it seems that such a world with unlimited hours might be unproductive. I would probably oversleep and do too much of nothing. Although my exhausted body may say, "please take a moment and rest" I also know that too much sleep can be a bad thing.

I guess that the important thing to remember about sleep is this: sleep while you can, but wake up when the alarm goes off. The end.
