I'm not sure how a person can live off the least amount of sleep possible at my age, 21, but apparently you can sleep less than 12 - 18 hours a week and still remain among the living.  You may look like an extra from The Walking Dead but I promise the only thing you'll be hungry for is sedatives.

For whatever reason when the general population getting all warm and snug in their bed while visions of sugar plums dance in their heads, I am laying face up in mine determining the percentage of sleep I can achieve before I have to drag my butt to the shower to knock the stink off....so they say.

I wouldn't mind the sleepless nights if they actually served a purpose, ya know some folks roam their pad and organize, clean, things that are far more productive than watching Netflix original programing and spilling expensive wine on the carpet and then not properly cleaning it up.  Not that I do that....not all the time, sometimes I watch youtube videos of dudes dancing in high heels better than I can walk barefooted...#clumsiestpersononearthproblems

I think about all the hours I am awake alone at night doing nothing and its disturbing to think what I could've done with all that wasted time.

Allow me to elaborate, I would normally try to be in bed by 10 or 11pm, as would most of the population I assume.  I am usually up at least 4 hours a night past my bedtime, that's 20 hours a week (work week) of totally wasted time.  Do you have any idea what you can do in 20 hours?  You can learn how to....

Code

Do yoga

Windsurf

Play the ukulele

Shoot and edit a movie

Organize every room in house...complete with labels and fancy crap like that

Build a deck (or a cake...Napoleon Dynamite)

Read a book....bwahahahaha! Just kidding

Sew a quilt....

Look the point is with 20 extra hours a week I could pretty much build Noah's ark and what am I doing with this highly valuable time?  Laying in bed wondering which of my Facebook friends might have access to some horse tranq's they would be willing to loan a friend in need.
