If everyone always slept 6 hours a night, and a company came out with a drug that made people feel like they slept 8 hours—enhancing their energy, mood, patience, intelligence, and creativity, while also making them look great, boosting their immune system, and increasing their life expectancy—everyone would take it.

"It turns out, if you want to save a species, you don’t spend your time staring at the bird you want to save. You look at the things it relies on to live instead. You ask if there is enough to eat and drink. You ask if there is a safe place to sleep. Is there enough here to survive?" -The Crane Wife-
