If you could only live with one of these things... which would it be? The two you don't choose are out of your life. Forever.
Bass, Bacon, or a good nights sleep.

Does the good nights sleep come with curling up with a hot babe after some great sex?

Will said change affect your stance on the matter? If so, no it does not come with it

How do you get a good night's sleep when someone is sprawled all over your bed and all you have is about a foot of mattress on one side?

And not just your bed mate. You may find youself put out of bed entirely, by the results of the aforementioned hot sex, if care is not taken.

I can live w/o bacon. Don't get a good nights sleep anymore, so bass it is.

Rest is for the dead. There's other things almost as good as bacon.

Bass it is.

Sleep? i'm an insomniac. i'll sleep in three or four days, then rinse and repeat.

Bacon? don't eat it very often anyways. (even though i really DO absolutely adore it.)

Bass it is.

As a vege who sleeps about 6 hours a night, I guess I'm already doing without them.

Your body will eventually force you to get a good night's sleep, so it's no bass or bacon for me!

+1

I've been chasing a consistent good night's sleep for a couple of decades. I'd give up a few more things for that as long as I can keep my acoustic guitar.

I guess I'll be member #1 of the Sleepless Bassplayer's Club.

I don't like bacon at all, so that's no problem.
If I get rid of the bass, I can't sleep anymore.
I think I'll keep the bass and wait till I can trade my house or my wife against some good sleep in another poll.
