I'm not really sure why we sleep - although I've learned a lot from the replies above. Sleep is a very weird thing to do, isn't it? If we have fulfilling and interesting days, why do we allow ourselves to become unconscious and paralyzed each night? I can understand sleep after a boring day. But it does seem to be such a waste of time.

Well, sleep is an evolutional, biological necessity. There are people whom can get by with a minimal amount, but sleep is a regenerative process. I dig it. I've always felt if dreams could be recorded for later viewing. A lot of peoples problems could be diagnosed and insight into potentials could be realized. Probably too, much of them would be hilarious and ridiculous too.
There are many different answers to this, and most of them are probably true. But what is your own personal opinion of why sleep is needed?
I sleep because it helps me feel better each time that I wake up. There are chances of one developing one sickness or another if they fail to sleep for days. Also, the death rate would worsen as long as more people have the power to skip sleeping. So, for these reasons, I believe sleep is very important for good health.
