Well, we all have wondered at some time in our life, that why is it that we sleep so much, or why is it at all that we sleep. There are a few theories up in psychology and neuroscience- some of them dealing with brain chemicals, and other things in the brain, but as far as i know, there isn't a supreme theory to explain sleep.
I guess, I am going to use this fact, and come up with my theory of sleep.
Basically, what I am going to do is that I will try to apply some of the laws of thermodynamics in this scenario, and analyse the situation from a new stand point with completely new variables.
So, here's my proposition-
WE SLEEP IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE INTERNAL ENERGY OF OUR BODY.
That's pretty simple- but only to someone who know's the laws of thermodynamics. But, to those who don't, here's my quick and dirty explanation of it.
Every system has some sort of Energy. A system is any object or being that is under our observation. So, in this case, the system is the human body. And as stated, the human body has certain energy. Now, the term energy could be a bit trouble in this scenario, so I am going to explain what I really mean by that term. Energy in terms of human beings or any other living organism means motivation. So, a highly energetic person is someone who is highly motivated.
(NOTE: Energy could also mean physical strength, or the ability to do work, but, in terms of human, it just means motivation).
So, the very reason we sleep is in order to reduce this motivation. Throughout our day, we go through ups and downs in our internal energy, and sleep is a period when we balance it out.
