Sleep duration is associated with brain structure and cognitive performance

It seems like yo do enjoy your lifestyle, but man, sleeping more than 8 hours, even when sick, seems impossible for me.

I do have some kind of FOMO, not really about being hyper productive but to be conscious, I could consider a perfectly well spent day even if I just lazed in bed, but i would need to be able to even think about stuff, watch the ceiling or just feel the sheets on my hands.

With how little time I have on this planet and all the possible experiences, I would definitely do without sleeping if I could.

What if you could be twice as efficient, aware, productive in your waking hours, but it "cost" you another 2 hours of sleep? Would you do it then?

I don't think I could buy that. It's not about efficiency or productiveness, it's about being. At this level, I don't even care about accomplishing stuff, just existing is fine. It's more like a fear of the darkness and the lack of consciousness when I'm asleep, that's why I framed it as a FOMO.
