theimportance of this thread is overdone

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Possibly is an overrated use of the word overrated, in fact overrating, overrated could possibly be considered overrated if it wasn't so overrated itself.

See i tend to avoid this sleep thing, since its overrated and everything. Thus naps = maga 
In my eyes anyway...

No way! Sleep is Underrated! Plus, I agree with the term "overrated" is overrated because everything can be overrated in another's eyes! So everything should be UNDERRATED IF IT CAN BE OVVERATED, SO IT WOULD SOUND BETTER!

No, naps are underrated, because they are not sleep.
Sleep itself is overrated.

I find sleep to be underrated myself. I love a good 12 hours of sleep when I can get it.

I think discussing whether or not the word "overrated" is overrated is in itself overrated.

Instead of overrated, how about............musically inept and derided by most, but there's always one who thinks they are grander than the rest..................

I think both 'underrated' and 'overrated' are being overstated here, but then again I am the master of understatement..

It's impossible to overstate how overrated it is. Find a synonym and get over it!
