"That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep."
Simplified meaning
Sleep helps us stay healthy and sane. Without enough rest, our bodies can break down, and our minds can become very tired and confused. Imagine trying to use a phone without ever charging it; it would soon stop working. The same thing happens to our bodies and minds without sleep—they don’t function well.
In history, some soldiers in war were forced to stay awake for days. They often made bad decisions and became very stressed. Similarly, if we stay up too late every night, we might start feeling very tired and upset more often. By getting enough sleep, we recharge and can handle problems better, stay calm, and feel better overall. So, it's important to get good sleep to keep ourselves both physically and mentally healthy.
