Last night i had a friend sleep over and I was just about to fall asleep when this thought popped into my mind... y do we sleep?? Its rele wierd how the whole thing works... our body kinda shuts down but everything still working. We lay there for hours without eating or going to the bathroom, and we are kinda lost in our own little world. And we do alot of strange stuff like sleep walk or sleep talk. We dream, and the whole thing just seems so real. And we meet people in our dreams that we have never seen before in our lives... Idk its a little strange to me. haha its kinda a wierd question but im only a teenager so still got lots to learn...

It is how the brain reorganizes and energizes itself. It is like when you do a buch of things on your computer and it is running really slow because of all the programs that are on it. Once you shut it down and turn it on, the computer starts fresh and runs faster.

Hello Jess,
This is not a weird question, even from a teenager! :)
Jess, in order to live, we need some basic things, water, oxygen, food and sleep. We sleep to rest our body from activity and more importantly, for our mind, our brain. Our brain is like the body's central control, like a computer, but much more advanced. If our brain isn't rested properly, we can't perform properly. People with Insomnia (inability to sleep) can tell you how miserable life can be with sleep deprivation. So sleep well and know you are doing something very important to your life.
I hope this helped!
Take care, Jess! :)

First, the incontrovertible fact that the home is new has not something to do with spirits. Spirits on the on the spot at the instant are not lifeless human beings. it form of looks such as you get spooked out as quickly as you're on my own. the sensation of being watched is maximum likely in straight forward terms your recommendations's eye working wild. yet yet another threat is air con or heating ducts. there are particular tones that are standard as infrasound that could reason human beings to experience like they're being watched. i'm questioning that interior the process the time of your situation and paranoia you're fumbling around with the entertainment middle. Your fiance likely doesnt tutor you the thank you to regulate it whilst he's around, and so which you don't get used to the way it works. you'll be better assertive approximately controlling it, or you would be staring at what he desires something of your life and in no way what you % to reveal reveal screen.

sleep is for the mind, not the body. the body can get its rest simply by relaxing. i sleep 1-2 hours a day. because i meditate all day long, my mind does not need to "go away" for 8 hours to get what it needs.
