lately i'm not dreaming, so what's the point in sleeping?

While I don't enjoy sleeping, I do appreciate dreaming. Dreaming is the simplest of ways to escape the harshness of reality. You don't need to worry about the wrongs you've committed, what could be better, or what could be worse. You just… sleep. You allow your mind to have complete control, taking you to a world better than the one you’re trapped

Last Spring I would take naps so I wouldn't have to think. I was tired a lot because of school and rowing, but I think I would even sleep to get away. I'm sure it's why some people do drugs, you try to escape, but you're problems are there when you wake up...at least sleep is safer. When I realized I would want to take naps to not do anything, I would make myself go running. I also used to sleep when I knew I had to write a paper, but that's a slightly different story..haha.
I like dreaming, during normal sleeping hours and purposes, but I've only remembered one dream in the past month. And that was the one I think I told you about with my brother's dog and my grandma driving 100mph on 50, but that was a little scary for a dream...
I don't know what tough time you're going through, but don't sleep it off, it's a waste, unless you're actually tired then it's enjoyable, for me at least. I hope you're problems arn't about a silly boy, because that would just be, silly.

I'm not going through any specific "tough times" at the moment, I just meant that as a general statement. Thanks for the heads up, though. :)

I sleep a lot. You know I do. Like at least ten hours a day. I enjoy sleeping, it's fun.

I don't sleep when I'm depressed or having problems but I do take naps when I'm pissed off. When I wake up it's like a fresh start for the day instead of just stewing about whatever I had been angry about.

I wish I was as optimistic as you. :/ [But I still don't abuse sleep. :)]
