But seriously tho, if I had that extra time, I could play games as I do now, and benefit the human species at a different time through mindless entertainment on the internet.
Think about it, platforms like Youtube and Twitch boost morale of the general public, increasing overall productivity! Not to mention helping the economy through ads. If I didn't have to sleep, I could play twice as many games while increasing the already increased productivity of the next Albert Einstein!
As far as we can tell, sleep is used to organize data collected over the day. If we evolved not to need sleep, we would need to devote part of our brains solely to organizing the rest of our brains, or evolve bigger brains, and since brains require a lot of oxygen, at one point the cost/benefit ratio of sleep outweighs that of evolving an entirely new, extremely expensive system
