why do we enjoy sleeping so much
In: Biology
personally I enjoy it because my dreams are vivid as hell and it doubles as a fast forward button to the end which i believe will be the ultimate relief.

I remember reading somewhere, in the context of a related “why do we sleep?” question, that some scientists ponder if sleep is our natural evolutionary state, and it’s “why do we wake up” that is the correct question, with obvious answers in terms of getting resources, continuing our lineage, etc.
I find this perspective is very interesting and it would also answer your question with “because it’s our natural state”.
It would also mean that cats are near the peak of evolutionary perfection. (duh)
I love sleeping, to the point where I often think something is wrong with me, when I go away with friends I’m always last to get up, if I work early mornings I’m always tired, I always feel like the odd one out with how much sleep I require, but it’s not depression or anything, my physical and mental health is all in good check! So, I dunno .. 🤷🏻♂️ what’s wrong with me lol
Because we know how we feel when we don’t sleep with proper quality and quantity.
I also think reasons can be vastly different for different people. Example: a depressed person ‘enjoys’ sleeping because it’s an escape from the misery of life.
