Hi Steemians,
Look at the market cap of crypto, It must be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, either way I don’t want to wake up from it. I am definitely not a morning person, I could go to bed early and still feel extremely lethargic when I wake up. I have to say to get over 8 hours does make me feel good, anything over it feels like I am coming out of a coma. The importantance of sleeping is to have rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the ironic thing is that your brain is actually working harder asleep than awake.
You might stop and think that makes no sense, I am tired I go to sleep I recover, it is true your body is at rest and your heart rate is down. However the true purpose of sleep is not yet agreed upon, my theory is that your brain needs to take in all the information for the day and do some house cleaning and memory reconsolidation. This to me makes the most sense, it cannot do that while taking new information in, hence you need to sleep.
Imagine if we didn’t need to sleep, the elite would make us work 24 hours day/7 days a week, so maybe the fact we need to is a blessing. Something that we take for granted!
