we sleep because our bodies need rest. you'll seriously become delusional after a few days without sleep. i've stayed up for four nights before and you really do start seeing things, like driving down the road you'll see things crossing the street, it's crazy. i don't recommend it at all.

It has nothing to do with genes or hormones. During sleep is when the body repairs itself. Without sleep we would probably be like zombies.

Lack of sleep is called 'sleep deprivation' and research has shown that it interferes with thought processes (can't concentrate). At it's extreme, one can feel as if they're going insane. Eight hours is the barometer for sleep, but it differs individual to individual

Humans must sleep to energize our bodies. If we did not sleep we would die!!!
