Sleep is essential to maintaining good health, period! It allows us to "recharge" ourselves physically and mentally. During sleep, the body conserves energy by lowering temperature and metabolism (the rate at which the body burns energy), giving itself a break from daily activities.
Some researchers also believe that sleep helps reinforce memories, and that dreaming helps us sort out emotional issues (de-stressing). Lack of sleep can cause depression, lack of energy and concentration. ;)
