If our immune system works best when sleeping, would we get over illnesses faster if we took sleeping pills and slept for three days straight rather than taking it medications? Assuming you stayed hydrated, what would be the downside to “sleep therapy?” It would even slow the spread of illnesses if people just slept for days when they started feeling ill. What is the upside to medicating (medications ranging from cold medicines and fever reducers to antibiotics)?

’cause companies don’t want you to sleep when you could be working
also ’cause sleep doesn’t treat symptoms and you can’t sleep for three days straight, so it’s nice to have something to help when you’re awake
