Why do people sleep? Why can`t we continuesly stay awake?

Answer:
Nobody Knows that for sure, But we do need it.
Its important for repairing and resting the muscles and nerves that get strained during the day. It could also be used to transfer the days experiences from the short term memory into the long term memory. some people think its also evolved as a way to keep us out of harms way for some of the time. anyway, itld be great if we didnt have to sleep, but it is nice all the same.

cause there ain't enough good programmes on to keep us awake.lol. people have to sleep as it the only time that the brain gets to fully rest. there is a way of staying awake for a few nights,but im told its illegal,lol xx

I don't know why don't you try it LOL!

Well, our bodies and mids need to re-charge and repair and build energy up again!

Our body is like a rechargeable battery. Once we run out of power, we have to recharge our energy for the next day. No buddy is like the Energizer Bunny. Its just how it is.

We need 2 recharge our batteries, but i wish they wud invent a different form of sleeping pills that do the oposit 2 the1 we all know about! U cud take a full 12 hours tablet and u feel as if uve ad a whole nights sleep or u cud take a lil cat nap tablet n u feel as tho uve ad a quick snooze!

U wud get so much more done if we didnt need 2 sleep!

the body needs time to rest and repair...all of it!!

you couldnt leave a computer or electricalk appliance working all the time it would burn out and break...but we're much more complicated

Because at some point you just get sick of being yourself and you need the chance to escape into dreams or nothingness to rebuild your tolerance for existance.

are you nuts
if you want to live in a world full of miserable people, then be my guest, but that just doesn't make any sense, that's how we cleanse our bodies, and recharge our energy. it also heals wounds, illness, pains, and helps you focus through out the day.
you'd become a zombie if you stayed up ALL the time, you would look pale, dark rings around your eyes and they will be red, dry, and itchy and that gets annoying after so long.
you might also find it hard to speak properly, and your sight will be all blurry, and you could possibly hallucinate.
and major headaches will come into to play also.
basically you'd be felling blah, and be a total wreck, concentration will make you feel sick and dizzy, there is so many wrong things that come along without sleep
and a lot of health risks to. you need to clean the everyday toxins that enters your body, from food, outside, work office, and from other people that you come in close contact with.
so
yeah
but it's your body so and you asked a question, and i responded, lol.

good luck hun
