Why can't we spend a third of our lives doing something else besides sleeping?

Question

for those of you saying sleeping makes you live longer, what is the point of living longer if you're just gonna "sleep" through it?

Answer 1

Why can't we spend a third of our lives doing something else besides YA?

Answer 2

I don`t know what you are talking about...i love sleeping! Sleep is way underrated! If people would sleep more, they`d be a lot happier AND live longer (yep, it`s proven that if you get more than 8 hours of sleep a night, you live longer)

Answer 3

Good question, though I sleep during the day instead of the night because I DJ, it's because our brain needs to function correctly in order to be able to do things. If you don't believe me try this... for one day, a whole 24 hours (or more if you can handle it) stay up and do all of your daily activities just like you would any other day. Trust me, it's a lot harder than it sounds!

Answer 4

Lately I hardly sleep at all.
Our bodies need to sleep so that they can be refreshed to do all that we do in a day.

Answer 5

Because we require sleep to function properly.

Answer 6

We probably work a third of our lives too,that doesn't leave much spare time.

Answer 7

i know i always wondered that too..i wonder what it wuld be :)
eating meals and going to the restroom takes about another third of our lives,
we only get to live one third to have fun : /

Answer 8

We can... what do you think people are doing with the other TWO thirds?

Answer 9

NO! Sleeping is the best thing to do! =)

Answer 10

Because without sleep we cant function...
