Why do we need to sleep at all?
I have even heard of people that never sleep,and of people that need to sleep a very short period a day (say ~1 hour).
Some mammals (cats,dogs) are also going through so called REM phase of a sleep.
I'm not sure but watching him ,I think my little parrot also experience a REM phase.
What do you think:Is sleeping just a resting or there is more to it?
Lucid dreams are quite an interesting phenomenon.
