I hate sleep, it's weakness of the body, but i understand the importance of it and that with current technological limitations we can't eliminate it either. So begrudgingly have to accept this limitation of the body.

Without need in sleep you wouldn't get more life. Instead corporations would make prices of everything higher and make you work for longer.

So enjoy your little moments of sleep, while you can.

Sadly you're right, but I'm still not going to enjoy.

Being unconscious for ~8h or suffering the consequences of lack of it or even just doing it badly is just slightly better than the corporations scenario.
