Some good points from that page:
Myth: Since we feel rested after sleep, sleep must be for resting. Fact: Sleep is for optimizing the structure of memories.
Myth: It is best to wake up with the sun. Fact: You should wake up at the time when your body decides it got enough of sleep.
Myth: Sleeping little makes you more competitive. Fact: The only good formula for maximum long-term competitiveness is via maximum health and maximum creativity.
- scott_s 19y agoFrom what I've read, it may be true that "sleep is for optimizing the structure of memories," but we don't know enough yet to know for sure. Also, I see no reason why sleep can't be for both.
