“The Socialist Republic of Huron League politefully disagrees with above statements regarding sleep lowering workforce participation. The more rested you are, the higher amount of energy you have to provide excellent work to your country. If you have slept poorly the night prior, you will be tired, unengaged, and will have a general dislike for the work you are doing. This is why Huron League will institute the World Assembly proposal as legislature regardless of if it is passed by the nations of the World Assembly.”

Ditto.

“The great nation of Toast Incorporated agrees, and will sign this resolution into our nation’s law regardless of the vote result, in order to assure all our Toasters get plenty of sleep.”

The Imperial Chiefdom, at long last, finds a resolution that requires an immediate response, though we are, at present, unable to articulate exactly what that response should be. It does appear that this resolution does address an issue that has been of some concern with those Kriovallers who might travel internationally, and that the World Assembly, as an international organization, clearly possesses jurisdiction over this matter. I suppose that we must consider this matter more fully.

The nation of We Do a Little Trollingland votes in support of this proposal due to sleep increasing cognitive functions, and by extension, one's ability to troll.

This is the silliest proposal that people actually dislike lol.
To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

The Least Serene Republic of Dodge land, does in fact, agree with this proposal, due to the fact that sleep does actually enhance one's ability to work harder, and allows for one to be more focused and to find the period key on his keychord, and in order to get a nice sleep, one must have a comfortable pillow, i for one have been suffering from Uncomfortable Pillowitis whihc means that i am unable to get a good nights sleep, my doctor says that i have insomnia, but hes lying, and with a comfortable pillow i can solve this issue, which is why this proposal is good, and we are planning to vote for, since with a comfortable pillow, i can finally stop the night terrors, which my doctor is from drinking 200 cups of coffeve before bed, but he's lying because i havent selpt in weeks, but anyways, the least serene Republic of Doge lands has decided to vote FOR on this proposal, and we hope the estemed delegates of the Worl Assembly agree with us

Good thanks,

Ah, but your National Football is still included!
a “pillow” as a typically cuboid supporting structure specifically for individuals’ heads during periods of rest,

As it says typically, really we could ignore that. So it's a supporting structure for your head when you sleep. Meaning the National Football completely works.

"You do not ignore such a hideous invention such as c-c-cu- *pukes* cube pillows! To imagine them is torture itself, this is an unholy sin that ruins humanity. Cube pillows are hideous beyond imagination, a deathblow to our society and all it has innovated. This is not just a matter of pillows, it's a matter of urgency. We must vote against these baffling tools! It matters the upmost that cube pillows shall be abolished in every conceivable way, I state my regards, thank you!"

This proposal is losing by a tally of 102 votes. I think it will be really close, but lose.
I supported with 30 votes, but IDT it will be enough.
