#4)How silly and dumb! Guess what--your brain is part of your body! As is your heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. They all function(work) while you sleep.

#5 is just not true for me. Once I get out of bed, even to pee, I am up for the day. There will be no getting back to sleep for me, no matter how little I've slept.

#8--I guess it's not the heat that makes me sleepy then. It's just being so cozy in all those blankets! :D

TR-00: There's no referral link.
annamacd: Thanks for recommendation. I love probiotics too. Melatonin (and Valerian Root) make me groggy in the morning.

Jeers to those who use comment boxes for advertising. It's not the melatonin that makes you dopey,annamacd. Don't peddle your crap here.

#4, that the brain does not need sleep, is not true. It is true that part of your brain stays active--the brain stem, which is in charge of basic body functions like breathing, heart rate, maintaining body temperature etc. However, when you sleep, the rest of your brain has entirely different brain waves from when you are awake. REM sleep is absolutely necessary...in sleep studies, people who were allowed to sleep, but not to get REM sleep (deep sleep), end up having serious psychological effects after enough sleep deprivation (to the tune of hallucinations etc). IN addition, the "work" your brain does while you are asleep is implicated in memory consolidation and other important mental processes. You have to sleep to be psychologically healthy.
