Death is not worse pain than an empty life. -- Lun Tha

The benefits of not sleeping:

1. You get to experience life for twenty-four hours at a time. It's kind of fun. Like being Kiefer Sutherland.

2. There is no need for that "first cup of coffee." You just have some when you want it.

3. You can watch your beard stubble/other stubble grow. It isn't "just there."

4. You have a real bond with the guys at the Walgreen Pharmacy Drive-thru.

5. Reading huge books in a day is not impossible. You're up.

6. There is time to plan out your next day. Which is just this one, extended, anyway.

7. The world is a neat place at three in the morning. More innocent. By six, the ambience is ruined.

8. Daydreaming never turns into nightmares. Unless, maybe, you're Stephen King.

9. You can watch global webcams when it is daylight where they're at, not just where you're at. That's cool.

10. You have a great excuse for being loopy for the next week, because you will forever be "catching up on yourself."
