i have a question
why do people have to sleep?
i think it's ridiculous. sure, maybe you need some shit and that for your legs to recouperate and whatever muscle building **** might go on, but why is a reduced state of consciousness necessary?
"The function of REM sleep is uncertain but a lack of it impairs the ability to learn complex tasks. Functional paralysis from muscular atonia in REM may be necessary to protect organisms from self-damage through physically acting out scenes from the often-vivid dreams that occur during this stage."
i have a hypothesis but im sure one of you is an expert.
