sleeping. I think it is a shame we lose half our lives by doing nothing. It would be great if a person could rejuvenate and rest and feel as if they have slept 8 hours just sitting with their eyes closed for 10 mins. And with all the time we would get we would have more time to read, watch movies, meet friends, etc. Dreaming doesn't require sleeping, so if the physical and medical reasoning for sleeping could be achieved otherwise I wouldn't mind skipping it.If you could live with someone, one or several people, who would it be? and why?
