We trust our bodies enough to go to sleep, knowing that we might not actually wake up again one day. amirite?

Is it trust or is it our natural functioning

right? like...i didn't realize it was a choice lol

Or just a win-win? Whether I wake up or not, cool.

We do it because of function. We're calm about it because of trust.

Not going to sleep won't keep you from dying. In fact it might make it happen sooner

by Ok_Address3622 1 year ago

Yup. Look at fight club.

Yeah but 3 days is about the line where it really starts going downhill

But we are talking about death. Apparently it's about 11 days. It happened to some dude

at a certain point it's not a matter of trust it's sheer exhaustion...

by Available-Impress 1 year ago

The alternative is unavoidable and painful death.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Even if not painful, the torture your mental functions will do to you if you don't ever sleep. If scared to sleep because monster under the bed, just remember you become the monster if you don't sleep.

As somebody who lost a family member who went to bed with no diagnosed problems and was discovered lying peacefully as if she were sleeping, I can't think of a better way to go. It's those left behind who are shocked and dismayed. I think the reverse is true for a long term terminal illness. The patient suffers a great deal, but family members have had time to brace themselves for the inevitable.

My mother got cancer and it was very painful before she passed away. Dying in your sleep is the best way to go

Simply not waking up one day would solve more of my problems than it would cause.

After my divorce, I went to bed every night for months praying not to wake up.

We go to sleep because we would literally go insane and die if we didn't.

by PitifulParfait 1 year ago

Unless there's some reason to be scared to sleep (night terrors, anxiety for the future, etc), the trust is so deeply seated that it's like breathing air. You fully trust the air around you directly from the womb.

I didn't realize there was a choice.

by New_Government9326 1 year ago

Two of my brothers went that way.

Wat other choice do we have ? Stay awake all the time ?

A-a-a-autonomic nervous system, trust

Insomnia is a thing.

I suspect that even if we didn't trust our bodies, sleep gonna come. As will waking up. Until it ain't.

Well I'm still here so If anything my body has broken my trust

by kshlerinellen 1 year ago

Bring. It. On. I'm ready. But not tonight. I have to work 7-3 tomorrow and I still want to play golf on Monday. I'm off that day. 😂🏌🏻‍♂️🏌🏻‍♂️

Sometimes I wish I don't wake up

by Melvinacronin 1 year ago

I don't, I just don't see any other option. Falling asleep is freaky and makes me uncomfortable.

by Pleasant-Tap3957 1 year ago

Yeah sleep is kinda scary if you think about it

by Reaganlind 1 year ago

Trust? Ha! I go to bed kicking and screaming all the way

You die faster if you don't sleep

I go to sleep hoping I won't wake up one day

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I'm just too tired to care and have gotten used to the routine of addressing some needs without question. Once it happens it won't even matter, I won't know I'm gone. Worth the risk.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

The risk of dying in your sleep when you're not old is very low.

by Lutherschinner 1 year ago

Imagine you go to sleep and the next day everything is suddenly not your problem anymore

by AnyRing5157 1 year ago

Apparently Tibetan Buddhist monks place their (one) cup and (one) bowl upside down: to reflect their acknowledgement of the truth - that they might not wake up.

Brother, I'm hoping I don't wake up one day.

by Comfortable-Row331 1 year ago

Maybe that's exactly what our brain wants when we go to sleep

by estel71 1 year ago

Yeh gods this is depressing - but ‘yeh', if I was going to go. On bed with me dogs. I rate my dogs over my husband but don't make me feel bad about that.

by Jazzlike-Composer411 1 year ago

Sleep's just like a sneak peak at death, ain't it? Except you hope to wake up from it

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I'm skeptical which is probably why my insomnia is badddd

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Hope so soon. Can't wait.

If we didn't sleep we'd die, it's not really a choice

by Weak-Fly 1 year ago

Well I mean it's either a slow and painful death or me go sleep and my body flips a coin

by LandscapeLanky3571 1 year ago

Well you can trust your bike will break or just used it

by vallie91 1 year ago

In fairness, some of us don't care if we wake up. Not being dramatic, more just, "it's been fine. But whatever."

We are mortal. There is nothing anyone can do about it.

Not trust. We need to rest. Sleep is important.

You don't control your body when you are not sleeping tho? Like what difference does it make?

by Krystelweimann 1 year ago

I don't have the strength to be awake 24/7, it's like I welcome death when the time comes. In fact it feels like I'm having courting death because I see her every day before midnight.

Ok then don't sleep. Lmao
