Why is it necessary to sleep?

First topic message reminder :

What's the longest time you've gone without sleep?
I can go a very long time without water, but sleep, one day at most. I don't think I have ever quite made it to two.

A week is out of the question!!

Why do you feel we need sleep and without it we will shut down???

Hay Auras since I know I can have my cake and eat it too (experience both physical & spiritual being) ana not just human being, I would chose to be human again and again.

I said we are spirit having a physical experience whch over all means we're experiences our true self. I see the ego asa. Gift, we need to kearn to use ir the right way. As for most things.

Check out immortals time travlers on youtube.

I agree with you auras! How many chances are we given? Do any of us rver get it right?

Their is no hard proof in that video.

I'll give you 2 reasons why.

For one, it would of be possible of re-incarnation, as I do believe in it.

For two, it could of been an artist making stuff up?

as the body is made up of fluid - It the water that keeps the body  functioning when awake.
to deny sleep,... is deny the body rest to repair damage and renewal of cells and organs.
like a car - if you don't fill it up  with gas and run it at 90 miles a hour, it will in time just stop.

why would anyone internationally deny the body - sleep and water?

I don't think living life is about 'getting it right', I don't believe we are sent back time and again to try harder either, because if that is the case then we've all failed and would continue to fail, I think we're here to experience the human life which is not perfect, it hurts, it torments, it drags us down it can create hate but just as equally life can be beautiful, amazing, and full of love

Sleep is more than just a time of rejuvenation. Its the portal to spiritual freedom. Once we are free spirits we can never be restricted again not even in our own mind or body.

Violet, I believe there is a right way, and the right is not about our individuality its about being human as a whole.

However sleep is the portal that will take us beyond "What is now."
When humans are asleep at the same time. We can do no harm to each other. We are at peace with ourselves and others.

Would be wonderful if everyone where sleep at the same time.

A brilliant thought,CW.   Peace would reign over the whole world.
Each spirit meeting up in the spirit world.....a sheer international heaven!

Longest I ever went without sleep was 3 days, and that was caused by a heightened state of awareness, sadly not drug induced - it was hormonal, both in my early teens and again in my 40's. Sure, I did drugs when i was younger, but drug induced insominia at the longest, was a day and a half. Hormonal imbalance sucks worse than coming down off of coke!

Sleep is for the mind to help ease pressure in the brain, to regulate and balance time clocks in the body, lack of sleep causes a long term load of affects that slowly drain you and make you sick.  A healthy mind is essential to all the energy centers of the body being healthy.
