4.3 billion years of highly competitive life and death struggle later and STILL, most animals have to spend a third of their lives unconscious and vulnerable to predation!!
WHY!????
Because its a forced, allocated time to allow the brain and body to do things it cant do properly whilst active like repairing, processing memories and food etc.
Its the same as any man made machine, you can't have it going 100% 24/7 there needs to be downtime for maintenance (albeit animal maintenance is done internally and doesnt require outside intervention)
