For some, it appears to be remarkably little, though there is clear evidence that all species do spend some time asleep. As many major bodily restorative functions occur almost entirely during that time, it seems Read morereasonable to conclude that this is the principal purpose of sleep. The benefits to the human memory of sleep still need to be assessed accurately and conclusively, however, and may indeed have been overrated. Indeed, some assert – though the findings they cite are unconvincing – that sleep is merely something that animals are able to enjoy when they have no more pressing needs, such as eating or reproducing. In many circumstances, or so they say, sleeping may simply be a less dangerous choice than roaming around and exposing oneself to predators.   However, evidence to support this view remains sparse at best.
