Christians: If there was no eternal damnation and those who chose not to acknowledged the existence of God or just decided not to follow his rules were not sent to hell but rather were subject to eternal sleep, would you rather live in heaven forever or experience eternal sleep? Would you continue to praise God?
I've never met a sleeping man that wanted to be awoken.
Please enlighten me

If there is a heaven, there has to be a hell too

The concept of heaven doesn't fit reality.
Humans are "difference engines" -- meaning, that we can't really sense absolutes, we can only sense differences.
If your day is "perfect" every day, then soon you would adapt such that a hangnail is a horrible day, a disaster. Similarly, if every day you spend scrounging in garbage for food, then finding half a muffin that is not moldy is a banner day.
If heaven consists of no suffering and every day being perfect, how long until the slightest deviation constitutes wretchedness?
Heaven is like infinity. An idea that can never be reached -- even in heaven.

There is no biblical hell. The Hebrew word translated into Hell is closer to "mankinds common grave" and the Greek word Gehenna was making reference to a place in Jerusalem where garbage and dishonored dead bodies would be burned - no one was ever tourtured with fire in Gehenna.
