Seriously, we could do so much more with an extra 8 hours a day. Why is sleep necessary? I am really tired right now, but i dont know why. Sure, i mowed the grass and suff today and im sore, but im resting, so why isnt that enough? If sleep is only to replenish energy then why cant we just do that by eating? |

To rest and recuperate. Imagine a machine running 24 hours a day, surely at some point it would overheat if not given a break or a cooldown time. |

I have a dream...
I read somewhere once that while we sleep, fluid replenishes in our spine (what cushions the bones) and that our stomach also repairs itself. People who skip sleep often have a higher chance of developing ulcers and back problems. |

your mind is more complex than any machine out there. |

In ETWOLD, LaBerge states: "Some likely answers are to restore our body and mind, and to keep us out of trouble during the dark hours." However, we don't really know why we sleep. Is it to keep our minds from becoming overloaded? Is it to allow us to store our thoughts/experiences from the day into our long-term memory? Is it because cell-repair is more efficient when we sleep? These are all ideas, but no one knows for sure. |

Kordan is right, no one really knows. but one thing we all know is that sleep is very important. you can try to go a long time without it but you'll either black out or start hallucinating or even maybe death? |

I've always wanted to be like T'alc (sp!!) from... AHHHHH!, can't recall the name of one of my favorite shows EVER. |

Deep sleep is good because we stop pretty much everything and carry out maintenance. REM sleep seems to have something to do with memory, no one is really certain. |

198.726% of people will not realize that this percentage is impossible given what we are measuring. If you enjoy eating Monterey Jack cheese, put this in your sig and add 3^4i to the percentage listed.
Stargate... I finally remembered the name of the show today lol |

It's only in your dreams that you can dodge Hitler's bullets and then go upstairs to Bonk your friends girlfriend.
There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?

we're living creatures, we need time to recharge. I really don't know enough to explain this in detail, but you mentioned that you want to do more with your 8 hours a day. This is the perfect reason to have a few lucid dreams. |
