20、why do we need sleep in the first place? We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things.

23、roblems getting up the following morning. 3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie, or computer game till the early hours of the morning.

26、 will probably help you be more alert in evening hours. However, if you are having problems getting to sleep at night, its not only naps that you should avoid.
