Consider those who don't get enough sleep and fall asleep while driving a car or truck.

Consider those who don't get enough sleep and do poorly on exams and such.

Etc.

Answer 2

I've thought about that, but does it really take that long for the body to rest? 8 hours of sleep seems like way too much. Also, sometimes if you get bored, you just fall asleep for no apparent reason.

I'm probably just weird like that.

Answer 3

If you don't get enough exercise, your body can do with less, but your brain still needs about 8 hours. You can then feel ok. but still fall asleep when bored. So, perhaps you should work out more.
