Breathing for respiration, palpitation of heart for blood circulation, digestion by elementary canal and essential neurological activities are some of the autonomous jobs our body is doing when we are at sleep. Our sub-conscious brain also remain awake during this phase. Some work to store memory in the brain is also done when we are at sleep.

How many days can you go without sleep?

Though it is possible to die from this, it is highly unlikely that anybody's body will allow them to get to that point. It varies from one person to the next, but the average human will/can experience fatigue, nausea, restlessness, and lightheadedness after 48 hours of no sleep. By the 72 hour mark, those symptoms can build up to audial, visual, and other basic sensory hallucinations. Though after roughly 96 hours of uninterrupted conciousness, the body will usually shut itself down, as a defense mechanism, or will begin to experience bouts of unconciousness. Whereas most people will fall asleep and stay asleep after 96 hours of no sleep, some people may fall asleep for a matter of moments and do this off and on until the body is recharged enough to stay awake for more than 5 minutes or so. The heart, brain, and lungs all are run by the medula oblongata, and without sleep, this part of the brain will "reset" the whole body to assess how much actual recooperative sleep is needed to maintain involuntary funtions.you have to sleep because lay in your bed and try to stay up you will go to sleep humans have to sleep

What does it mean if your body temperature is lower than the avg body temperature?

That means that your body temperature is lower than 37 degrees Celsius. It probably means you have been inactive for a while. 37 C or 98.6 F is the average body temperature, not a required temperature. You can raise it a bit with some vigourous exercise or lower it by relaxing.

Why do you go to sleep hungry and wake up not hungry?

This is because your body stores fuel [all the food you do consume and do not immediately use for energy] is broken down into glucose and stored in your liver as glycogen. When you sleep [or have not eaten in a while] your body will use the glycogen as an energy source. So when you are active [before you go to bed] you body is "asking you" to consume some food so it can function. when you sleep, your body isn't needing the energy as much. So the feeling of hunger will go away for a while, until you start to be active again.

Sleep depends From the kind Of work you do. If you work hard you should sleep a little bit longer. If you are involved with Studies reading, I mean Jobs where you have to use your brain you must sleep more to give your brain the time to rest, I think. If you sleep every day a lot is Lazyness. You have no interesting in doing something. It is not Healthy in my opinion. Sleep as much as your body needs. You know the answer, you know your Job, you know your Body.
