Heyooooo!
I'm just about to hit the hay and I was wondering. What is sleep? Now this might just be a sleep deprived mind talking, but. do we really need sleep, what exactly does it do to make us need it or feel like we need it?
I mean my mind feels totally active as I write this and if I was allowed to rest my body would too... the only thing holding us back is our sleepiness forcing us to sleep.
I'm thinking of opening a poll later, so among the various questions possess... also drop on any ways you combat sleep
Now!
Go!!!!!
seriously go, I need some sleep... out of my room! ^-^
Some Research__
Google says that Scientists have been researching 'why do we need sleep?' for years but haven't found a definite reason. The only conclusion that they could draw was that our spinal fluid(Which is also around the brain) drains off more dead cells during sleep than when awake. I'm guessing that means our heads would explode without sleep, but given the size of cells that would only happen after a few thousand days
Like this guy ^^
