Sleep is the greatest unresolved mystery on Earth. It goes completely against all evolution standards, we don't know almost anything about it and yet every organism on Earth is forced to do it every day.

There is no doubt sleep is part of a greater conspiracy against all biological life on Earth.

Here are couple of key points how is sleep completely nuts:

1) Being vulnerable for 8 hours every day during the least safe period of each Earth cycle is a direct violation of every evolutionary law
2) All living organism go through the same thing which is literally impossible due to the vast variations of life
3) Even with all the fancy science there is still zero progress in understanding what is sleep, why we want it and why is it here
4) Dreams have obviously some higher meaning we also have zero knowledge about yet they affect us daily on a huge margin
5) Nobody is talking about it while everyone is doing it. Somehow the whole planet accepts something retarded for absolutely no reason

Sleep is a paranormal alternation of our consciousness without any explanation.

It is a direct threat to liberty and freedom of every species on this Earth and must be understood and terminated at all cost.

Falling for evolution was your first mistake, OP, but you're on the right track and I salute you. What's really going to bake your noodle later on is how you can go on forgetting dream after dream after dream for thousands of dreams, but even WORSE is that you still get yourself into dream space every 16 hours but don't realize it's a dream until it's over. Youve done this thousands of times and STILL don't realize you're asleep until you're not anymore, and then that vivid ultra-realistic experience you just had is gone from your mind in mere seconds, minutes, hours, or at most days, aside from a few stray dreams that for some reason you do remember. Figure out that shit.

>2) All living organism go through the same thing
Not true at all. Horses for example sleep for only 15 minutes at a time when they do. Dolphins only sleep with half their brain so they are always some form of awake. Plenty of creatures have evolved different methods of sleep.
Sleep helps the brain by washing away sediments and wastes. Lack of sleep contributes to calcification of the brain and pineal gland.

>some form of awake
What in the ever loving fuck do you believe you just tried to say?
>>
>>42307332
>dolphins only allow one half of their brains to sleep at a time; the other half stays alert to enable the dolphin to continue breathing and look out for dangers in the environment. Dolphins only close one eye when they sleep; the left eye will be closed when the right half of the brain sleeps, and vice versa. This type of sleep is known as unihemispheric sleep as only one brain hemisphere sleeps at a time. Dolphins alternate which half of the brain is sleeping periodically so that they can get the rest they need without ever losing consciousness.

All real predators sleep. That is why they all live in packs/societies.

I embarked on this path 2 decades ago. I decided to replace my "wasted time" sleeping with lucid dreaming instead. Then, OOBEs, too. I got these weird energy sensations and they're always there.
Now, whenever I stay I awake and lie down, I feel these weird sensations all over my body, like a cold feeling that flows through me and touches me like feathers. There's no escaping it. It always leaves me entering an OOBE through some sudden rush of energy.
Last time this happened again, It felt like I woke up. It felt like I was in the "real world" while being in some place I've never been after struggling to reach it blindly. I felt a happiness, a feeling that i came back "home". Then, a dream kicked in and felt the sensation of falling asleep, and instantly woke up.

Just like everything else about humans, big surprise.
All because human evolution is driven not by genes but by consciousness (aka information aka ideas aka "memes"). You are not your body, you are the informational entity stuck inside it.

the vast majority of organisms on earth never sleep and have no such capacity to begin with

I had to look this up and apparently only 50 vertebrates have been tested to confirm that they actually sleep. Lots of bugs sleep, many aquatic animals sleep with half their brain at a time, some animals only sleep for a hibernation period. Really interesting topic imo
>>
>>42307044
I think what's more interesting is how utterly miserable it is to not sleep. You'd think it'd just be a kind of super physical fatigue but its all mental. The splitting headaches and that overwhelming feeling of mental fatigue. Then you start feeling heavy and get all sorts of pains in your chest and other organs. There's clearly some super important thing that happens when you sleep which is far beyond just simple "recovery".

My body refuses to sleep, I take muscle relaxers due to a health problem and the doctors are always surprised that it doesn't make me drowsy at all. I take melatonin and it's still a struggle to fall asleep. The only thing that puts me to sleep is Propofol but I only get that when I have to do a procedure. I think it's my constant non stop pain that is preventing me from sleeping because for the random time every few months when the pain decides to stop for a little while I struggle to keep my eyes open. How can I free myself from this curse?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_insomnia

I don't think I ever read about any disease as horrible as this one. Type of prion disease.

The disease has four stages:[6]

Characterized by worsening insomnia, resulting in panic attacks, paranoia, and phobias. This stage lasts for about four months.
Hallucinations and panic attacks become noticeable, continuing for about five months.
Complete inability to sleep followed by rapid loss of weight. This lasts for about three months.
Dementia, during which the person becomes unresponsive or mute over the course of six months, is the final stage of the disease, followed by death.

awful desu

sleep happens so your chakra system can absorb the aether your body needs in order to keep running, it's essentially non-physical food

of course, why the demiurge decided this was necessary (when strictly speaking it's not) is another question
>>
>>42307044
1) 8 hour rest is a modern thing. people used to sleep on shifts, act different times as well as in split periods.
2) there is huge variation to times slept, depth of sleep etc
3) it is rest anon, simple. science knows why we sleep, because things need to reset, rebuild, digest, and rest so we can use the energy again fresh. holy shit.
4) you ever defragged a hard dive?
5) there is some paranormal elements and things to explore but you seem to have missed all them. lucid dreaming, prophetic dreams, astral travel etc. bold faced lie to say no one is talking about it, endless books and then endless videos on this topic.

Interesting thread and I’m willing to entertain the concept but tigers sleep 16-20 hours and gators 17 per day kek

It's clearly an upload/download to the simulation
Maddest part for me is that if someone doesn't sleep they become very ill, potentially die. How can that be possible?
>>
>>42307044
I overcame my need to sleep once. I was feeling desperate and feared I might die in the future due to my human needs of food, water, and so forth. Seeking a solution, I ripped up my legs with thorns, mopped up the blood with paper, and set it on fire as an offering to Tezcatlipoca and Cipactli. At first nothing seemed to happen, so I decided to go to bed. I laid in bed, but could not fall asleep. I stayed in bed for hours without sleeping. On the rare occasions I did fall asleep, it was only for something like 40 minutes at a time. I was wide awake with energy, not constantly dozing off. I kept trying to sleep because I was afraid of dying or incurring injury from sleep deprivation, but I think if I didn’t keep trying to sleep I wouldn’t have slept at all. I think I slept for 2 hours a day instead of 7-9. Because I was scared of the unknown health effects, and because of how being in the real world hurts me, I prayed to go back to normal. After about a week, that happened.
>>42309030
Praying to Xolotl or Tezcatlipoca might help.

I believe this might be how God grounded our souls and anchored them to the Heaven. Something like this. Video related. https://x.com/benwehrman/status/2044129100022067382?s=20

I live so that I can sleep, not the other way around.

Probably more likely that its a failsafe that has existed since the advent of centralized neural system to prevent excessive accumulation of stress and reduce the cumulative damages of oxidative stress on neurons over time. And since the neural network is far more complex than the circulatory system, the rates at which the immune system can clean out these byproducts is likely far lower, and unable to compensate the production caused by conciousness, which give us a genuine incentive for the advent of sleeping as a survival mechanic. Think of it like reducing the inflow of a pipe as to make repair/maintenance on it, which you cant cut off completely because it furnish some vital system, because its more efficient and manageable than trying to do the same with full pressure on.

You could go on without any sleep, but chance are you'll die either from complications due to the oxidative stress, or from the shock when you fall unconcious or go to sleep, with your body being overwhelmed by the amount to process.

it's to psychologically prepare you for death

>>42308126
humans do this too. go sleep somewhere dangerous and unfamiliar and you will literally sleep with one eye open and blinking and eventually rotate which one you use. had a hunting buddy witness me do it, alongside homeless friends i used to have when i was also homeless and street/alley sleeping in the ghetto. you only truly sleep once your comfortable and safe. if you let yourself stay uncomfortable and aware of danger that is ready to get you, you'll realize you do this too.
>>
>>42307044
You sleep so your body can do repairs, and so your body can make your muscles bigger and stronger assuming you lift.
If you don't lift, you need sleep so your body has enough energy to goon or something, fucking loser.

Your brain only has about 3 days worth of ram and it writes memory to long term storage fragmented across the whole system until you defrag it with dreams. when you walk into a room and forget what you were doing it is because your brain hijacked about half of your available ram to check the room for predators.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I've definitely seen a few humans with half their brain asleep

It's called recharging your cells. Even batteries need to recharge. Sleep heals monsters in monster hunter games so it's not totally useless tho dreaming is kinda paranormal.

All organisms that succumb to senescence succumb to death. All organisms that succumb to death must succumb to sleep. For the only difference between death and sleep is time scale.
>>
>>42314335
... most of them? there are fewer pack/herd animals than solitary animals

>>42314355
it is not a little death. you get defragged in a completely different way during death

sleep is when we return to reality. waking time is only for gathering the energy that fuels the body. we need the body to achieve dreamtime.

Gee it's almost like you avoided answering the question because you knew the answer made your suggestion silly.
Every species finds their own ways to sleep comfortably. Pack animals take turns sleeping. Predators can sleep when they want. Solitary animals hide away either with height, underground, or with camouflage.

It resets cognitive functions, sleep is perfectly normal, dreams however is a weird aspect.

Bump

Also that's crazy when you think about it

your body repairs and destories virus when you sleep it doesn't do anything else and also recharges you
