Question #31

Question #71 from "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D.

Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares every time you went to sleep if you would be rewarded with $20,000,000 at the end of that year?

As much as I would love to have $20,000,000 .... a good night's sleep is actually even more valuable to me. I LOVE to sleep ...

I guess I would have to say "NO"

Do the nightmares stop after the year? . . . Nevermind. I like a good night's sleep too much, and anyway, I am goping to earn the 20 million.

Well...since I only average about 3 to 4 hours a night, I'd have to say "No thanks". Those 3 to 4 hours are very precious and allow me to function as normally (or abnormally!LOL)as I do. It is tempting though! LOL

This question answers "what's the worst form of pyschological torture?"...

Last week, I nightmared that Tom Cruise was in love with me and wanted me to convert to Scientology. I even had the forethought to ask him "what about Katie?" You'll all be glad to know it really is just a publicity stunt...

But even worse than the nightmare is that secondary feeling of disorientation when you wake...was it real or just a dream? This may actually be worse than the nightmare!

So, give me peaceful, floating-on- clouds dreams...no amount of money is worth the stress!

I've been in two situation in years past: not sleeping for days at a time and nightmares. I won't take either. Nightmares make you crazy. Sleeplessness makes you crazy. I won't do either willingly.

No, absolutely not. A day to day feeling of unrest, aggravation and irritability, which I would no doubt take out on my fellow human beings, could not be compensated my money. Sorry. Peace of mind is undervalued in this question.

Yeah, I"m up most nights with the kids anyway, so I'll take the 20 mil!

YES!!!! It couldn't be any worse than suffering the daytime nightmares I'm experiencing at work right now, so I could quit my job and catch up on my sleep during the daytime.

No, definitely No.

A good night sleep is more valuable to me than the money would be. If I have a good night's sleep, then I will be able to make enough money to live comfortably and be happy.

I do not have nightmares nor do I ever want to have them.

This is a joke right?
Money versus quality of life.It's a no brainer. No amount of money could ever compensate for that torture.

Where do I collect my money? I'm already there.

Sure, I have nightmares all the time, might as well get paid for them.
