what is the most overrated thing in the world?

god, i hate sleep.  i was operating on about 5 hours of sleep total from thursday morning till last night-- and i was fine.  i only slept for about an hour-and-a-half thursday night (and that was b/c i got drunk and passed out, but woke up due to a weird dream and decided to stay awake), then slept for an hour or so during the day friday, and managed to get a couple hours sleep in various short spurts on saturday morning. i was sharp, quick, sociable, energized, and generally in a good mood.  but last night it all caught up to me and whilst watching the labeouf crash and burn on snl i passed the fuck out.  i woke up several times, but probably got 5 or 6 hours of sleep and now i feel like shit: groggy, lazy, and like i can't fully wake up.  this always happens when i get more than two hours sleep at a time.  sure, my brain was starting to wig out a little yesterday afternoon and evening and i was beginning to depersonalize off and on, but that stuff can be fun if you're in a good mood.  and i usually am in a good mood when i don't sleep.  it may sound counterintuitive, but the less i sleep, the more energized, excitable, clever, and "fun" i feel.

when i was living w/ my exes, i used to slightly resent them for being able to sleep as easily and soundly as they did, but now, honestly, sleep just seems like a waste of time.  30 mins. to an hour, two hours, tops, and i'm good to go.  anything more than that is just pointless.
