Isn't sleep one of the most fascinating things? But do we know why we need it?

Though sometimes some brains don't have this accumulation and it causes the lack of sleep. Sleep is necessary for the body as a charge not only for the brain, but for the rest of the body. So this literally could kill you. In Marquez he insomnia plague causes them to forget their memory and suffer symptoms that could have killed them.
