would you take it? If you take it, you can no longer eat or fall asleep, but won't suffer any ill effects on your health, though it might make dinner time awkward.

I would consider not needing to sleep (assuming this means I would never get tired) but I would never give up eating

I'd give up sleep. I have so much sleep issues anyway, so to not have to sleep would be great. I don't think I'd like to give up eating, though.

No way in hell. Sleep time is me time. Especially on weekends. There's nothing better than curling up in a warm bed, having cool, weird-ass dreams all night, and waking up slowly and naturally and just having a leisurely stretch.

Also, there are way less other people when you're asleep. Hopefully. If you're awake, you're available. If you're in bed this better be the goddamned apocalypse OR ELSE.

why? I get pleasure out of eating and sleeping.

But do you get pleasure out of sleeping that's proportional to the amount of time you spend on it? That's at least a quarter of your life devoted to it. I have plenty of hobbies I like that I don't devote a quarter of my life to.

No, I love eating and sleeping too much. Sleep is undervalued imo. Being forced to take a break and relax is vital for mental wellbeing.

No sleep! I love food too much.

Absolutely. I already have a hard enough time sleeping, and imagine the money I could save not having to eat. I really don't see a downside to this.

Do you still have to drink water?
If you don't eat, do you still pee? Poop?

If I never have to poop again that'd be fine.

Probably sleep. I like sleep, but I don’t sleep well at all.

If it wouldn’t fuck with my health at all, mental, physical, or otherwise, then I might take the option to not sleep anymore. I don’t think I could give up eating, though; not only do I love eating, I love cooking; it’s one of my more relaxing hobbies. Also it would kind of suck if I stopped eating entirely (would that include not drinking water? Needing to brush my teeth?) and stayed my same overweight self.

Get rid of that sleep. Get way more stuff done.

Yep. If I didn't have to sleep, I could do all of those things that I usually don't have time for on a weekday. I see absolutely zero downsides here.

All I have are nightmares anyways, so this would make me less anxious.

I'd give up eating, sure. I don't know about sleep though. I mean... I guess if I didn't need it then it wouldn't be so important but... I don't know. The idea of being awake for the rest of my life is really daunting.

IDK. On the one hand, I have pretty massive issues with waking up (as in I feel like absolute shit for the first two hours of the day, every day, no matter what), so I'd love to not have to deal with that anymore.

But OTOH, I just can't really imagine being conscious 24/7, for the rest of my life, and not cracking up mentally. And I don't really think that's just a me thing, like hasn't it been established that humans need sleep, not just on a physiological level, but on a psychological level too?

Hum.... I guess.

I already spent so little time sleeping and eating is something that doesn't bring me any pleasure anymore.

How come? Is it due to depression?

One thing to consider is how much eating factors into socializing. It would be way harder to hide the fact that you never eat to other people than it is to hide your non-sleeping existence.

I would give up sleeping if I could also give up wanting to sleep, but I want to turn my brain off after a long day. And I love eating way too much.

Well as some with disordered eating and a tumultuous relationship with food, I would love to give up eating. My trouble is balance, so if I could be healthy but just avoid having to deal with food at all? Perfect.

Food, nah, I like eating. But sleep? Heck yeah, I'd give that up. Think of all of the things I could do instead of sleeping!

I have insomnia and gastroparesis, so if I could improve my health without having to do two things I find difficult every day, I obviously would.

This is the dream.

Wow, this question sounds like it's been inspired by Steven Universe.
Do you need to be like Pearl? Don't eat. Dream a lot instead.
Garnet? Eat occasionally, meditate often, dream some.
Amethyst? Eat everything, irrespective of the consequences, nap whenever, etc.
Steven? Eat weird, dream weirder...
Peridot? Wonder why Earthling clods bother with eating and sleeping...
