why don't you guys talk it over while i'm sleeping
O_o
why does your body need sleep?
I've heard of truckers going bonkers with too much caffeine trying to stay awake and drive too much.
People can literally go insane from sleep deprivation. Why does this happen?
i think it has something to do with chemical buildup, either in your brain or in other parts of your body.
once it reaches a certain level you get sleepy and your body naturally tries to go into a state of mini-hibernation to allow the moving and dismantling of whatever chemicals are causing the problem
on a normal basis i go about 3-5 days outta 7 without sleep or very little sleep, mainly because i have no need for it, i see it mainly as a waste of time, but yes its needed for alot...
some are:
process thoughts,
takes care of things unknowingly,
and its just set in stone that around night time your "internal clock" as they say it, is turning you off,
plus they say its a mini death, time for your "soul" to rest,
i think its needed purely for processing thoughts and to relieve your soul's duty to carry on to the next day.
also
while awake the body probably can't replenish the organs needed because you are running to fast to do it...
slowing them down during sleep is needed for this.
