What Is Sleep All About?

an email sent to someone one day

Oh, and here's my "I thought about it for 45 seconds and formed a solid theory" theory about why we need sleep:

Our brains use up a LOT of energy compared to the rest of our bodies. Just like anything else, when energy (i.e. food) is scarce it is necessary to conserve as much as possible. It's even dumber to waste a resource when it is scarce... costs too much.

It's tough to hunt/gather food at night. Hell, it's tough to do anything. It gets cold out (bodies have to reallocate energy use just to maintain body temp) and you can't see anything. It just makes sense to shut down the thing that uses the most energy for the time it can't be used to do the thing it was designed for.

What is this all about?

I threw an anonymous site together in 2004 as sort of a repository of raw notes, stories, ideas and pictures. I kept my name off the site so that I could really let loose and say anything I wanted.

Four years later I realized that:

A) I didn't have anything that needed to be anonymous.
B) Few people stumbled upon the site.
C) Most who did promptly left.
D) The whole thing was damn ugly and difficult to navigate.

It was time for a change.

I took out the trash, spit shined the leftovers and did my best to turn it into a typical, self-serving, narcissistic, personal shrine to myself. Don't you just love it?

If so, be sure to hit the contact page and let me know what you think. Feel free to tell me how neat I am and how amazing and life changing you found my website. No, really, do it. Now.

Please? Seriously. Maybe we can like meet up and hang out or something. I like lunch. In fact, I eat lunch almost every day. What's that? You eat lunch, too? See, we have so much in common. I knew we'd be pals! I'm so glad you contacted me via my website.
