Me too.  That's why I decided to have fun with the word for "to sleep" in
Graavg'aaln.  I wanted it to be transitive but I was *not* going to have
"sleep a sleep" be it's only transitive usage.  So, I have "to sleep a
dream" and eliminated the need for a verb "to dream" and I have "to sleep
water" which means "to drown".  And I just realized that one can also "sleep
life" which means "to totally waste your life accomplishing nothing".  I
wonder what else can be slept.
