If we didn’t have to sleep, do you think we would still have beds? Obviously, we would still need some sort of natural environment for procreating, but would it be a bed, or more like, when you’re a little tipsy, light a few candles, throw a bunch of blankets and pillows on the ground and make a little love nook in the laundry room or hallway closet? Think of all the additional functioning square footage you would have at home if you didn’t have a bed(s). What would we do with all of this space? And more important, if you had an extra 8-hours in each day, how would you spend it?
I’d like to think I’d spend this extra time learning to play a musical instrument or learning a new language, but more likely, I fear that I would just end up subscribing to twice as many magazines, newspapers and blogs reporting on the latest trends in pop culture. Given the extra square footage, though, I’m throwing down some cardboard and learning to break dance. Because, let’s face it, break dance fighting is awesome.
