Sleep is vital to the human body, it allow you to process the thoughts of the day and makes them easier to remember the next morning. Your brain also produces chemicals throughout the day and a lack of sleep can mess the chemicals up, which in turn impacts your personality and mental state over time.

It also enters your body into the healing stage, and once digestion gets a certain point the liver focuses on supplying the body with vitals it needs to repair the body. This is why its important to have a early cut off time for food as unless the liver stops dealing with digestion, it can't deal with healing. And unless the body rests, it can't start the healing stage.

For young minds especially, sleep is really important.

In short, go to bed people! If you're up at midnight or later you'll be paying for it the next day.
