Ok, i think i get what you are aiming at.

He is right. The less you sleep the shorter you live. People with verry long insomnia tend to die a young age, and they get older sooner. Also people who fall in a coma usualy dont age while in it, but when they wake up, age quikly catches up with them.

So less zappin more yappin!

Still.....that leaves you with a bit of a paradox. While you are asleep you have no real useful life or relative life time, therefore while you sleep you are to all to all intents and purposes dead. So do you spend more large periods of life awake and die younger, or spend smaller periods and live longer. Large periods would be better to get more done, but then your effectiveness diminishes with fatigue, or conversely get less done in the smaller periods but with higher efficiency.

So do you spend your time dead when you are dead or while you are alive?

Depending on your belief structure you aint got long to live, no matter how old you are (and yes I have less than most here ) So hurry and make your mind up, but don’t stress about it as that will mess up the equation.

I suppose as in all things you have to find the best balance, just the right amount of time asleep to extend life, but not so long as you lose too much life while asleep. And more importantly not let you life pass by while worrying about it, or indeed playing quake too much

As in most things in life its all about yin and yang. One things is for sure happier people live longer....hmm then there is diet, environment ,lifestyle, genetics.......

Well my personal high atm is 86 hours.
Thats not too high if you consider the world record -afaik- is about 11 days. Thats was achived in a voluntary scientific experiment and that sleepless insane guy had to be rehabilated in next 6 months

LOL @ roldan it also made me remember slips stupid answer after 48 hour your brain just shuts down and you go like into coma LMAO.
