Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 13, 2018

Why we sleep? Better sleep on it until the answer comes.

I can tell you why we sleep. Because we’re tired. Duh.

Go without sleep for 10 days, then you will have you’r answer.

And then he used the refunded money to build the concert hall that bears his name.

We sleep to refresh ourselves. Yeesh, these scientists have no common sense! Ok, It’s time for my hibearnation now. ;o)

Sleeping is actually the normal state of the human body. That’s been established. The big mystery is why we wake up.

Our brains wash away harmful proteins while we sleep.

Think of your brain as a computer, sleep is a reboot, it resets the mind.

Why ask why?

That gravestone is in Mount Hope Cemetery, on the National Register of Historic Places.

I’m not so sure why Ripley would say that about sleep. There has been extensive research on sleep. We know we sleep so the body can repair damage and “reboot” the brain among other things. However, if the why is referring to why sleep is needed in order to do those things, then I understand.

Nonsense. There are numerous reasons, for example, while awake, lactic acid develops in our muscles making us tired. When we sleep, the process is reversed.

ten? try one!

Yeah. Things have really gotten better since Susan B. Anthony did her work.

And every election they vote in the same damn politicians and then expect different results!

We use our brains too much and sleeping is a reboot, reset, whatever.

I find it interesting that somebody scientist want us to believe what they say and yet so often they really know so little. And are very often wrong at that.

I don’t wonder why I sleep.

I wonder why I get out of bed.

Any young child can tell you why we need sleep. (BECAUSE, just BECAUSE)

Are you serious? We sleep because our bodies need it. Time to get new scientists!

If you don’t sleep, you will die.

We need to sleep so that we can upload our memory files to the Mainframe computer in the cloud.

I love the tribute to Susan B. Anthony!

The scientists are obviously bachelors…

Would you guys please stop talking, I’m trying to sleep.

To sleep is to reset the neurons in the brain, this reactivates them causing dreaming!
