The weirdest part is you have to close your eyes and pretend you're sleeping in order to trick your body into going to sleep

Sleep is when we regularly switch ourselves off for a while so our body and mind can rest, repair, and reset before carrying on.

Verse :
Explain sleep to an alien that doesn’t sleep? Okay, let’s give it a try.
I need energy, so I eat an apple to get the energy it provides. But using that energy puts strain on my body. So, once every 24 hours, my body needs time to repair itself for at least 8 hours. We call this “rest” or “sleep.”
During this time, my body isn’t just lying there doing nothing. It’s actually busy fixing and restoring itself. This repair process also involves my consciousness, which spends all day dealing with sights, sounds, thoughts, and emotions — a kind of “wear and tear” on the mind. While I sleep, my consciousness processes all of this—we call that “dreaming.”

Your brain won't repair itself unless you sleep. That's the short of it.

our brain is like a computer. if you don't turn off a computer it will slow down and become unusable. So we shut down every day to clean out the garbage that slows down our brain.

Sleep is when humans go into screen saver mode. Only the screen saver is always random, and usually abstract or absurdist.

isn't it crazy that when we sleep our brain not only cleans itself like dishwasher but decides that it's the perfect time to remix our memories good and bad like is the point of that?😂
