I always thought sleep didn't make sense evolutionarily speaking - I mean wouldn't carnivores be selected for learning how to function with no sleep, to prey on the sleeping herbivores? I mean I would assume carnivores because herbivores have to spend a long time eating - but a carnivore just needs one lucky break, and the likelihood skyrockets with a diminishing sleep schedule.
