/his/ was there ever a Greek God of not sleeping? I just had this really weird dream and around the end there was this thing about the God of not sleeping and I was just wondering if there actually was a God of not sleeping.
I would assume that the daemon personification of sleep (Hypnos) would determine whether or not people go to sleep at all.
Also, according to Greek myth, there was once a very brief period where nobody died at all, because Thanatos, the daemon of death, ended up getting the 50 Shades of Gray treatment

Did Hypnos have any enemies in the myths? In my dream the god of not sleeping didn't get along with him.

Did you try Googling "the oh God of not-sleeping"?

There was the Unknown God.
Who knows, maybe it is a god of not sleeping.

Paul showed the Greeks that this is Jesus.
Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you

Never heard of this before. What's the Unknown God?

Dream was actually pretty deep. Made me have an epiphany or something. Also stuff about God of not sleeping was kinda detailed. I thought I might've learned about it a long time ago and forgotten it or something like that.

Kek. That'd be a pretty fun dream.

*epiphany about something
Probably not but maybe check other ancient societies. They might have gods of not sleeping.

In the Book of Acts the Apostle Paul gives a speech in Athens where he mentions that he saw a monument "To an unknown God" and uses that to teach about Jesus.
It was probably meant to be a catch all monument for any Gods the Greeks missed or didn't know about.

Tried looking nothing came up.

If you want to interprete your dreams read this.
Just a heads up, all dream interpretation is a unique to the dreamer. Those quick-sheet lists that say 'if you dream x it means y' are worthless since symbols always have a personal meaning in addition to a generic one.
Dreams are basically how the subconscious expresses itself using your emotional reponse and cultural understanding of known symbols as a motif.
