I mean what kind of super advantage do we have by spending the night when its already hard to see shit, god forbid potential Predators, unconscious?
In: Biology
You pretty much answered your own question.
What is so important that it’ll shut you down and paralyze you for one third of your day while there are predators out there just waiting for their chance to get you?
Whatever it is it must be really important.
The answer is that we don’t really know. One of the more excepted hypothesis is it’s a way of cleaning up the toxic byproducts made in our brain. Btw babies seem to sleep for different reasons than what older people do.
