If I Didn’t Need Sleep, What Would I do With all the Extra Time?

I’ve been struggling a bit with inspiration for the blog, but this WordPress prompt piqued my interest!

Have you ever thought about what you’d do with the time you currently spend sleeping? What would you get up to?

Here are my thoughts. Some of my ideas have been exaggerated for comic effect, FYI, but I’ll leave that mystery for you to figure out. I’m so complex and clever, aren’t I?

Firstly, I’d make a plan

I’d have so many exciting plans! I’d start with organising my whole life, start to finish. I’d start a small business – a side hustle if you will, finally finish my erotica, build the cats a catio, essentially plan out every single minute of the extra time I’d have.

Really make the most of the extra time.

Then, that plan would go out of the window

After creating a mega to-do list of all of the things I’d want to achieve, I wouldn’t even know where to start.

I tend to get over-excited over the exciting plans I think up. Then, I overthink them.

This leads to one of two things happening. Either I talk myself out of my exciting idea because they were ridiculous and stupid ideas in the first place, or, I start said exciting plan but never finish/follow it through.

After that, I’d panic about having too much time on my hands

I can’t just sit still. My brain is constantly working. It’s why I struggle to sleep and why I can be disorganised.

After I’d had so many exciting plans and either not starting them or starting them and giving up, I’d plonk myself down on the sofa and panic about the time I’d already wasted.

Then, I’d wallow in my own misery at my lack of using that time wisely

Yes, I know this sounds silly but I know what I’m like. I’d definitely spend some time self-deprecating. Totally normal for a healthy human being, don’t you think?

Finally, I’d probably take a nap through all of the stress at this whole situation

Naps solve everything, don’t they?

But, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to nap. Instead I’d lay in bed thinking about all of the things I wanted to do and how I’d done none of it.

So, in conclusion, it wouldn’t be wise or good for me to have an extra eight hours spare a day.

The end.

Much love,
