- bkandel 2y agoI think this is pretty common! More sleep makes everything better -- attention, immune system (getting colds less often), mood, etc.

- Noumenon72 2y agoI have spent months at a time getting 7-8 (amid years of 5-6). I never notice any difference and am actually surprised my body can do 7-8 to no purpose.
- bpodgursky 2y agoFrom the perspective of evolution there's a purpose... burn fewer calories in the dark when there's nothing else to do. The question is whether it still matters in the modern era.
