What is the reason behind the need to “fall” asleep rather than choosing to be asleep?
In: 252
If we made a choice to sleep, we wouldn’t actually be sleeping. The point is to let the body’s systems rest by slipping into a state of unconsciousness— choice necessitates consciousness, so if we *chose* to do it, we would need to remain conscious in order to maintain it, therefore defeating the purpose.
