Sleep Natures err

#### 🎬 Script

(Visual: Host looks thoughtful, perhaps holding the book "Why We Sleep")

Hook: Sleep. It's common across the entire animal kingdom. But from a survival angle? It makes no sense.

Body: Think about it. When you're asleep, you're vulnerable. You can't find food. You can't find a mate. You can't defend yourself.

For evolution to keep a trait this dangerous... (Visual: Host pauses, looking serious) ...the reward must be enormous.

Closing: This paradox is the central question of the book. What function could possibly be that important?

The answer starts to get interesting when you look at it from a reproductive angle.

Follow to find out what that is.
