I know we sleep for our physical and mental health and maintenance, but in a philosophical and religious stance, why must we sleep? Why do we desire to sleep? Why must we sacrifice a third of our short lives in a semi-unconscious stance? How much of our productive output would increase had we not developed the need and desire for sleep? Why do we access alternative universes as we sleep? Why is it that sometimes they are like heaven that we wish to stay in longer (you ask out a beautiful woman and she says yes, but then you wake up) or a nightmarish hell (you are naked in public and fall down a cliff but you jolt awake before you hit the ground) or just some weird surreal nonsense that cannot be explained.
>>18425291Sleep is just death giving us a free trial Serious answers though is that I think for a lot of religions, sleep gives us the opportunity to dream, and dreams carry a lot of significance in a lot of different religions
>>18425291>sacrifice a third of our short livesReframe: 1/3 of our short lives is spent in blissful peace. If sleep were a simulation of heaven, I'd pascal's wager myself into that shit.
>>18425291When you go to sleep you die. You started living this morning and tomorrow it won't be you that wakes up.
>>18425311once knew a man who slept as little as possible, he said to me "we sleep half our life away" and he had huge bags under his eyes in his 40s. he would fall asleep in the middle of the day when i was hanging out with him
