Have you actually given them a chance, though? I notice most people seem to think the solution is just to distract themselves...same people that go to bed at night and face existential dread/crisis. That was me, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Sleep is underrated, by the way. People only recommend 7-8, but that's more of a healthy minimum to me. It's incredible how much of a difference good, quality sleep makes in someone's life: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was "foreplay is a waste of time and not needed" then no. Also how amusing is it that Slumber is posting in a thread about slumbering lol. I was getting to the former. Some things in life that seem like wasted time are actually pretty crucial in actually enjoying life. And being such a fan of sleep, I take special interest in it.

I think the point was that sleep actually is necessary, or at least as necessary as foreplay. Going without it seems practical and efficient but in truth leads to grouchness, dissatisfaction and chafing. 9 hours ago, Junkhead said: Sleep is underrated, by the way.

Could be one of those vicious cycles. Edited August 11, 2018 by Jotari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest your implication behind that post was so vague that people aren't going to look at it and think "oh, well I guess some time wasting steps are actually important after all" but rather "that man ain't ever getting laid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I tend not to go to sleep until past midnight, often owing to the blue light me being on this website late at night emits, but I've gotten a little better with it. Sleep is okay, it gets one peacefully through the darkest hours. But truly, if humanity could do without it with no repercussions, I'd like that.

I'm rather nocturnal and quite antisocial so I actually feel much more relaxed during those hours. Sunlight occasionally hurts and one of my friends' parents joked I'm a vampire. At least... I hope it was a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not questioning the logic they're getting at (at least it seems like you think I am, otherwise you probably wouldn't have tried explaining it to me), I'm saying that the first post lacked so much context that it's stupid easy to misinterpret until Slumber explained himself. I found it funny but apparently you got it straight away, so congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because even if you're not suffering from depression, there's a whole host of other, serious, problemsersleeping can result in. Not saying you definitely do have a problem, but still, see a Doctor to make sure. It's also help you with your inability to get laid if you can but an extra four hours or so of effort on that front https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/guide/physical-side-effects-oversleeping Edited August 12, 2018 by Jotari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
