How pain changes you is up to you. You can come out bitter, or you can come out better.

Joel Osteen

[newyorker]

It’s strange, when you think about it, that we spend close to a third of our lives asleep. Why do we do it? While we’re sleeping, we’re vulnerable—and, at least on the outside, supremely unproductive. In a 1719 sermon, “Vigilius, or, The Awakener,” Cotton Mather called an excess of sleep “sinful” and lamented that we often sleep when we should be working. Benjamin Franklin echoed the sentiment in “Poor Richard’s Almanack,” when he quipped that “there’ll be sleeping enough in the grave.” For a long time, sleep’s apparent uselessness amused even the scientists who studied it.

Researchers are understanding more about why sleep matters to our bodies and our brains. Maria Konnikova learns more in part two of her three-part series, on newyorker.com.
