// I'm not convinced.

It's 4 AM. I totally don't feel any urge or need to sleep. I know I'm SUPPOSED to, but really. What IS sleep? Unconcious state of mind so that your body has more time to conduct cellular respiration, producing enough ATP to keep all your functions in check?

I SAY NAY.

Sleep is for the weak, that's what it is. When impulses decide to take a break from driving down those supercharged nerves; the potassium and sodium are at waiting outside the doors. When axons and dendrites stop holding hands long enough to quit being sweaty. And everyone is asleep, snuggled in their myelin sheath... The nodes of Ranvier represent the pauses in a silence that a snore causes.

IN A SECOND! LESS THAN A SECOND! MILLI!

How fast do they travel? How long do they sleep? Not long. Oh no, my friend. Not long at all. No time to rest! Time forges onward! ONWARD HO!

I recommend everyone read Charlie and the Glass Elevator, the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. No childhood is complete without it. No DERANGED childhood, that is. Is it possible that books be published on pages of paper made from ganja leaves? Hmm. All I know is that, there is some sort of plant in the process of paper-making. I will research this and post my findings at a later time and date.
