Yesterday after work I was really tired. I was tired I did a big yawn. I was so tired I did a big yawn and stretched my arms. That’s really tired. Well, when I was tired, I got to thinking (big day for me I know.) I was thinking about super heroes, and super powers, and I got a brilliant idea. Whenever you ask someone “if you could pick a super power what would it be?” Everyone always says the basics; “I would want to fly,” “I want super strength,” “I’d teleport,” and the list goes on and on. But what if instead of super powers for super heroes, there were super powers for ordinary people.
I know, absolutely mind blowing. But we never hear about super powers for the common man. The 9-5 worker, the single mom with 3 kids, the middle child who gets the least amount of love (sorry Vincent ((my brother.)) So, I am introducing a new series where we will come up with super powers for ordinary people. And it’s going to start with…
SUPER POWER ONE: NEVER GETTING TIRED
That’s right, the simple action of me being tired, caused me to create the super power of never getting tired. I am truly a mad scientist. Now do not confuse this super power with the ability of never having to sleep, that is not this. You still have to sleep, however… It does not matter how much sleep you get; you will never be tired. You could sleep 2-3 hours a night, or you can sleep 10 hours a night, but when you wake up you will never feel tired. You’ll never have to yawn! They say yawning is contagious, well not for you. 2:30pm comes around and that crash you normally feel is no longer there. Think of how much more you would get done in your life if you were never tired. Just take a second and think about it… amazing, isn’t it?
THERE’S SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES!
Oh, you can’t stay up to watch one more episode of your favorite TV show because you’ll be too tired for work tomorrow? Don’t have to worry about that anymore. Can’t go to the gym after work because it was such a draining day and wiped out? Not anymore! You’re wide awake and full of energy ready to get that 6 pack you never had! That hobby/side hustle/task/new thing you wanted to learn that you’ve been putting off because of how tired you’ve been and all the excuses you made to avoid doing it. It’s your lucky day! You can do all of them, every single day!
Think of how much the ability to never be tired would change the life of the common man. It would literally be the best thing to ever happen to people. A true super power. I think if I was offered the ability to never be tired over the ability to fly, I’d take the ability to never be tired any day of the week (probably not but still.) If I wanted to fly, I’d hop in a plane.
CONS
Now do not forget, with great power comes great responsibility. You still have to sleep. You can’t just sleep a minute a night and be okay, or you will crash and be ULTRA MEGA TIRED! Can’t have that. You know how Superman’s weakness is Kryptonite? Your weakness is sleeping one hour and fifty-nine minutes a few nights in a row. The minimum sleep requirement is 2 hours of sleep per night. More time awake is great for some, but for others it means more time with your thoughts. Which could mean thoughts like this…
THE HORROR! THE HORRORRRRRR! But at least you won’t have nights like this anymore;
THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD
It’s pretty simple. The pros out way the cons. I never want to be tired again, and if this could be my super power, I would take it in a heartbeat. I’m sure you all will too because it seems to me like everyone is always tired. Could you imagine only having to drink coffee for its delicious taste instead of for the fact it’s keeping you awake? Man… that would just be… super.
