   The Sleep
Is it not odd that we as human beings need a said 8 hours of sleep in order to function at our most full attention? I just think it is silly. How can a normal human being even think to get 8 hours of sleep in this day and age? By going to bed earlier? Using sleeping pills? I tend to get to bed around 10PM and wake up at 4:45AM on the days I have school, and 8AM on the days I do not. However, even with this solid schedule of sleeping, I still remain ever tired and in need of more sleep. On those days that I do not acquire the right amount of sleep, I tend to be more hyper and awake. So, even while running on 2 hours of sleep, I seem like I have gotten 8. The human body is so amazing, yet so stupid. How is it that our entire day is based on how many hours of sleep? If the number is too low, we need more sleep, too high, you might feel a little achy in the morning. Throughout our lives, the hours of sleep we need dwindles. When we’re born, we need about 18 hours of sleep (and yet we still manage to wake up crying). When we’re older, we tend to only need about 6 hours of sleep. Why is that? Babies do not do anything all day. They just sit their, whine, cry, poop themselves, cry some more, eat, and sleep. I feel that, as a grown human being, that I should be allowed to get more sleep. But again, I would get nothing done. I guess the argument is pointless...
