In Heaven, do you never sleep?

Heaven, as a concept, doesn't work, without some sort of radical reform of one's psyche before entering Heaven. We need rest as you point out, and we can really only thrive and be content if we have goals and aspirations, and if there's at least a touch of conflict in our lives. That's because we're adapted for living in an imperfect world.

The question is, do you lose something essential to your identity if those aspects of your psyche are changed?

Here's a thought experiment for you. Imagine it's 3,000 years in the future, and science has essentially cracked every great mystery of human physiology and neurology. It is now possible for enter a chamber in which the pleasure centers of your brain are directly stimulated in ever-changing yet ever-pleasing patterns. The pleasure is multifaceted and constant. You feel physical sensations of pleasure (the cozy pleasure of curling up in a warm bed and drifting off to sleep after a long time, the physical pleasure of the best orgasm you've ever had, the sensation that comes along with consuming a favorite food, and so on) as well as emotional pleasure (the feeling of loving and being loved. the good feeling you get while you laugh at a good joke, etc) .

Your brain, however, is unaccustomed to (and ill-designed for) such unremitting pleasure, and there is a part of you that feels unfulfilled, knowing that the pleasure is manufactured -- the product of drugs and hormones injected into your body,. What if the pleasure chambered also, however, rewired you brain in such a manner that you could "endure" an endless series of pleasant feelings (or even increased your capacity for feeling them) and eliminated those parts of your mind that demand authenticity, or that crave some sort of real challenge and achievement (or else, made you feel as if you were behaving in a way that was profoundly authentic,and meaningful)?

Would you say that your true "identity" is preserved in this thought experiment, and if not, how is that any different from the transition the state of your being, as it would exist in Heaven?

(My thought experiment could even plausibly be stretched to bear yet more similarities to Heaven -- changing the form physical substrate in which the mind manifests itself, and allowing for a persistent existence until the heat-death of the universe, some several billion years hence ... which isn't eternity, but given our inability to wrap our brains around that sort of time scale, it might as well as be an eternity.)

Out of jokes, consider the following.

A spermatozoa while running toward an egg asks itself: "Will I still run when I will be a Man?"

The difference between a spermatozoa and a fully grown man is still less that the difference between a mortal man and a resurrected glorious being. No way we can imagine how that Life will be.

Run, spermatozoa, run; do your job here and when the time will come you will have enough intelligence to know the rest.

When we are doing something that we truely love and enjoy, we certainly do not want to stop at all.

We stop because we are compelled to stop, for a number of reasons, including being tired.

If we are no longer tired, we certainly would not stop doing what is pleasureful and pleasing to ourselves and our creator.

We may very well have more than one duty in heaven, but that would be the only reason to change what we are doing in order to start another duty just as pleasureful and rewarding.

i could think of a hell of so plenty greater effective of a place than right here. and if there's a heaven, that is not going to be like right here, the place flora and greenery could desire to get food from the solar to stay to tell the story, that is referred to as they're going to be feeding on the easy there. and that i do no longer think of we are going to wish nutrition d from the solar in heaven, via fact it extremely is suppossed to be a suitable place.

NO! You will have a immortal body. You will not need sleep or have any earthly Body functions.

I think in Heaven there's no such thing as time. You don't feel time. There's no need for sleep. Sleep is for your body not your spirit.

Of course, I don't have all the answers, it's just what I think.

Sleep is needed to rest our mortal bodies. Therefore, one can assume that since we shall have new, immortal bodies, sleep will not be needed. I would be willing to bet that awareness like that will be one of the best parts of Heaven.

The righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water).

(Their greeting will be): "Enter ye here in peace and security."

And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury: (they will be) brothers (joyfully) facing each other on thrones (of dignity

There no sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave.

Is Heaven a night club where you can get E?

Maybe that's why people reincarnate as babies. So they can finally get some sleep!
