If you could have any super power, what would it be?

@Teasday and what about dreaming? sometimes I have nightmares or crazy dreams like getting so mad at a person that I am still mad even after waking up - even when I in general like that person lol but usually I love dreaming, being free, doing things like flying or infinite running, being a character from an anime - but I guess you can still sleep if you wish with your power, you just don't have if you don't want to

as for me: flying would be enough for me, even if I would have to train for it or human limits in height, speed and duration
or healing body, mind and soul - THAT would indeed be great

@buecherwurmin Yeah, I don't know if the ability would need balancing by making me actually incapable of falling asleep or not, but I think I'd consider not being able to dream an acceptable loss. All the dreams that I remember have always been weird and entertaining (to the point that whenever I realize I'm having a dream I usually just forget about soon afterwards because I don't want to interfere with how the dream is going), so losing that would be a bummer but probably worth the trade.

@Teasday
The potential downside to not needing sleep would be the discipline required to actually be productive in those 'sleeping' hours. People who work 8 hour days are on average only productive for ~3 hours. If I could tweak this 'no sleeping' power, I would make it something like 'being able to automate your actions' (within a certain complexity to make it balanced).

Of course, the extra time could be used for hobbies and stuff, kinda like with Fafnir from Dragon Maid. He doesn't require sleep so he spends ~24 hours a day playing WoW.

@bigtiddyoneesan Yeah, the problem could be that I'd just start procrastinating 24 hours a day instead of just 16. I'd still need to eat, probably more than normal even because of the extra fuel consumption, but at least my productivity wouldn't suffer from (non-energy related) tiredness. I think it should rather go up.
