I'm not to sure about the "scientific" reasons, but for me, it seems like if I get a good nights sleep, I feel like crap in the morning, but if I say up till 1am and get up at 5am I feel fine... but thats just me

i dont think it affects your intelligence, i just find it refreshin, i start work at 6:40am which to get there one time after driving i have to be up by 5am......

....which is when i used to sleep when i was a gaming bum : P

a good nights sleep just seems to provide a bit more energy and makes it easier to get up at an earlier time

i have a screwed up sleep patter to say the least its irattic like 1 week i wont sleep at all another maybe a few hours a night or the normal 8 hours and sometimes il will like sleep for 14+hours. i think my problem is when you are in and out of work so like 1 month you will have a job the next you wont then it screw up your clock and as i had the same problem in school i think stress and depression has a lot to do with your sleep pattern as i suffered from both and my sleep pattern was screwed up back then

but i feel best when i have had the standard 8hrs

I sleep about 4 hours a night on school nights. My stock time is about 12-14 hours. That is, if nothing wakes me up.

Getting little sleep increases the chances of developing mental illness such as schizophrenia and paranoia. MORE SLEEP allows your brain to process all of the information you took in throughout the day and this way you remember things better. The next day, you will be more active and will be able to function more effectively. Your nervous system will stay healthy. There are probably more reasons, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

You feel refreshed and it helps you concentrate

[Ilzwalrus]

Crap.
I phrased that soooo wrong. It was late when I wrote that.

GETTING MORE SLEEP IS GOOD!
The first sentence is true, the rest is crap.
Allow me to edit that.
