"People say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing. But it's really a bizarre activity. 'For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I'm going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.'
If you didn't know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you'd seen.
They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the 'mind adventures' got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren't unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.'
So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you're in a science fiction movie. And whisper, 'The creature is regenerating itself."
― George Carlin, Brain Droppings
Well, when you think about it that way......
It's true, though! Sleep is really weird. My problem is that my body doesn't like "losing control of everything I know and understand. Keeps me up at night...Well, "sleep is for the weak," so I should be good, right?....Heh heh....
And let's take a moment to talk about these "mind adventures."
Super weird things. While you're asleep, your mind takes you places you didn't even know you were capable of imagining. In your dreams, you conjure up your deepest desires, your worst fears, your craziest ideas, and everything in between. And half the time, you don't even remember them!!!
To those people who don't live in this crazy sci-fi world, sleep might seem like a waste of time. But let's face it---we all need to go unconscious for a few hours every night.
Sorry this is so long. It was just too good to pass up!!! I hope it made you laugh as much as it made me!!!
Also, I have an improv show tonight, so I probably won't get much of this thing called "sleep."
Anyways, please vote, comment, and share with your friends. Bye! Have a wonderful day! Good luck in your midnight mind adventures!!!
