Some people desire to sleep as though it were a pleasurable activity. But the reality is that it is an unconscious activity, and it’s not like in the middle of sleeping we suddenly shoot awake with wide eyes and say, “You know..this feels REALLY good!!” and then immediately drop back down and fall asleep again.
Some people think life is a dream. How fortunate that we could all dream we were on the same planet. Otherwise it would have been a really lonely dream.
Although life being a dream would explain why everything is so blurry. But fortunately there are some people who dream of inventing glasses, and other people dream of selling of them.
Waking up to a shrill alarm clock after being in a deep sleep is an especially terrible experience. It is like being a rock on the ocean floor that, upon being flung from the bottom of the ocean into outer space in the matter of a moment, gains the ability to comprehend what is going on around it for the first time ever. One becomes a ferocious and simple-minded ogre whose only goal is to destroy the stentorian beeping and return to oblivion.
*Yawn* I’m getting pretty tired here myself. Goodnight.

If life is a dream, can I have a wake up call?
Sleeping is my own escape from reality. I slip into the realm of could-have-been stories with people that have come and gone from my life. The kingdom of make believe and wishes coming true and strength… The land of faeries.
Waking up brings the harsh, raw realization that no matter how long I try to run, I will never reach my hidden refuge.
That last paragraph was pretty amusing. I laughed.
