Reading this as I'm all warm and cozy I'm my bed, trying to get up but being too comfy, after a weekend in which I've slept almost 25 hours because I've had a really tiring week. Guess what? After sleeping all those hours I finally feel rested, my thoughts are quicker and my head doesn't hurt anymore. Fuck off to anyone that calls me lazy, because I know I'm not, I've got plenty of interests that require discipline and dedication. I've come to realise that way too many people suffer from insomnia and no one is addressing THAT as a huge problem of our society.

that's such a good point about insomnia, thanks for bringing that up! it affects so many people and it actually has detrimental longterm effects on you. it's definitely not lazy to get proper rest!

Very nice post, thank you. People don't understand the importance of sleep these days, and if they do, it's often because a sleep disorder has taught them.

This is an esoteric angle on sleep. There's one part that connects strongly with what you're saying. We sleep because we want to sleep. We don't sleep because we're "tired". We feel tired because we *want to sleep*.
