Sleep : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Sleep

Sleep is a state into which animals and human beings regularly fall. It corresponds to a slight lost of consciousness, which cannot be compared to coma since when someone falls asleep, they still react to sounds and moves. Furthermore, the person asleep may wake up alone or with the help of an alarm, which would be impossible for brain dead people.

Ideally, in average, men (and women) should sleep around 8 hours a day, but in fact, we are kind of wide of the mark, since surveys have shown that in 50 years, the daily duration of sleep of an adult human being decreased from 8 hours and a half to less than 7 hours.

We have thought for a long time that sleep was necessary to life. But studies have proved that to some animals, newborns and their mothers do not sleep during the months following the birth. This is actually the case for dolphins. The reason why they deprive themselves of sleep is that the newborn must resurface regularly so as to breathe. This is also a way for them to remain alert and avoid any attacks from any predator.

But nature reclaims its rights and the two of them, after a few months (time for the baby to gain weight and become stronger), have a normal sleep cycle again.
