It’s such a common event that you probably never asked yourself why you sleep. ___1____ In fact, for sleep researchers, it’s one of the biggest unanswered questions in the field.
Stop and think about it for a second. Why should we sleep? ____2_____ But we sleep every night, even when we have had plenty of rest. There are，no doubt，several different answers to this question, but let’s just consider one general purpose of sleep: ____3_____ Human beings are creatures that are normally active during daylight hours, when our senses function most effectively. ____4_____ We can’t see objects well, our color vision is entirely lost, and we don’t have the smelling or hearing sharpness of other animals. So it actually does make sense to have us stay where we are during the dangerous period when night-waking animals are walking here and there. And one sure way to make sure we don’t fall down everywhere and get lost or eaten is to have us not move for seven or eight hours, rising again only when the light is back and our survival chances are better.
It’s not the only reason we sleep. ____5____Perhaps even the most important one.
| A．Is it because we get tired? |
| B．Should that put human beings in a terrible situation? |
| C．But from a scientific point of view, this is far from anordinarymatter. |

E. Furthermore, if you were designing an animal, would you have it come into long periods of unconsciousness every twenty-four hours?
F. Sleep as a survival approach.
G. At night, humans do rather poorly.
