  • Maker

    If I didn’t need sleep, I would become a Maker and take up a hobby at the Makerspace. They have all sorts of things-glassblowing, crafts, They even have welding and…

  • Watch Instructional YouTube Videos

    I’d watch every “how to fix your life” video on YouTube and implement the ones I predict could be useful in my life.

  • Fridge

    I’d reorganize my fridge at 3 a.m. just because no one can stop me.

  • Theories

    I’d finally figure out where all my missing socks went. I have theories.

  • Learn An Instrument

    I’d use the extra hours to learn an instrument in a low-pressure way. Think go-at-your-own-pace online tutorials.

  • Go Outside

    I’d step outside more often at night to get some quiet fresh air. The world is quieter at night, and more revered as well.

  • Blog Creation

    If I didn’t need sleep, I would probably start an entire separate blog just documenting how I use the extra time.

  • Growth

    I’d practice drawing simple things I’m bad at instead of expecting myself to improve overnight.

  • Workout

    I’d probably create an intense nighttime workout routine. Something to encompass all my weekly exercise needs would be great.

  • Journal

    I’d use the extra hours to journal with regularity instead of waiting until something stressful happens to write an entry.
