the shorter your sleep, the shorter your life span.
If we still have to keep sleeping one-thirds of our lives despite all the disadvantages we get in survival opportunities (work, eat, socialize) throughout the evolution, it means it's compensating with tremendous benefits it provides.
In fact, there's no single biological function that doesn't benefit from a good night's sleep.
P.S. I like his writing style.
