If you didn't sleep, you would have to eat a whole lot of food to make up for the energy you are going to burn.
Also, if you didn't sleep your eyelids will get real heavy and you will start to stumble when you start walking.

We need to sleep to give the body a break from its daily activities. Sleep is part of a 24-hour body rhythm which makes us function normally.

I enjoy my sleep, really don't want to be on the go 24hrs a day. We sleep because that is the time our bodies do any repair work and renews our energy naturally.

You would go insane if you didn't sleep, and you eventually would die, because your body wouldn't be able to function adequately/sufficiently.
Ive stayed up 62 hours once, and you begin to see things because of the sleep deprivation.
