Super Powers
Recently, I started watching Heroes on NBC. They have a contest going on right now where you can submit a super power that you think a character should have and if you win, they will put your character on the show.
This got me to thinking, not necessarily about what power I would like to see on the show, but more about what power I would like to have if I could have one. I came up with this one... I would like to have the ability not to need to sleep.
I don't want the curse of not being able to sleep. I just want it to be a power I can turn off and on. I love napping on the couch on Sunday afternoons whilst watching golf or football, but I am often annoyed by the need to sleep during the week when I have things that I want/need to get done. I don't think my super power would make for good TV, but it could come in handy.
So, my question to you is... What power would you choose?
NOTES:
* I realize that I only want this power because I am over committed and I have not set healthy limits for myself. Maybe I need someone to repeatedly tell me, "You don't have to live this way."
* I'm assuming you don't already have any super powers. If I am mistaken, you can just tell us which you already possess, but you can't take any more. That would just be greedy. Maybe you could trade with someone like a White Elephant gift exchange.

I think that the correct statement would be, "You don't have to live like this." My super power would be the ability to snap my fingers and be somewhere without having to travel there. Being invisible would be pretty cool too.
flying. no doubt.
I don't know who Kim is trying to fool. She already has a super power. She has super sight. She can see germs where no one else can.
So, I came across an article that says there is a drug that can replace sleep: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/12/sleep_deprivation
