I don't know what kicks Da Vinci got out of sleeplessness. Maybe he was on speed or something. :) Rest is good for creativity! Sometimes to get things done, you need to stop whatever you're doing for a while and let life happen. Hey, I got my dreams back. They were a bit fuzzy, though. But still there was something living again in that alternate reality of mine. Jhay, I usually feel numb and zombie-like after my second day of sleeplessness (day one, I’m a little snarky).

Still, I believe Da Vinci did not really get some sleep. Maybe he clocked in short naps in throughout the day or night he's been working or doing something else. Physiologically, a human would not survive long or stay fit, let alone capable of any work if sleep would be totally removed from his life. We are humans afterall, not like machines that could go on and on, but even machines need some time off too. So the same thing goes for you, maybe you need some time off, to relax or unwind and log in good hours of sleep. Your dreams would probably come back and when you wake up and get back to work, you might have that Da Vinci moment in your life.

Angelo Racoma Wed, 14 Jun 2006 14:57:42 +0000 http://racoma.com.ph/archives/no-sleep-for-the-weary/#comment-546 Jhay, What secrets can I discover then if I spurn sleep from my life? Sometimes it's a waste of time. At times I wish someone would invent a pill that, when taken, would be the equivalent of a good night's sleep. That is, except for those times that we dream, which are the mind's way of subsoncsiously solving the problems of each day. Sadly, however, my sleep has been dreamless of late. Makes me wonder whether I had stopped living. Jhay,

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Any other way and it would be stifling to creativity.

I don't think this is wrong, maybe just different. But yeah, financial considerations have to be taken. I couldn't agree more. I think I’m also “the last man standing” ;D
