I have purely obsessional obsessive compulsive disorder. Things are troubling me constantly, and sleep does provide relief. Even so, I'd still rather stay awake 24/7. I'm constantly down on myself, what I can accomplish, what I have accomplished, etc. There'd be so much more time to improve myself if I didn't need sleep. If I want relief, I can always drink :) EDIT: Of course, knowing me I'd probably spend the extra time playing video games and wondering why I'm not reading my library books...
