Imagine all the things we could accomplish if we weren't sleeping 1/3 of our lives away!

I sometimes think this too, but then I think about the brain and sleep. They're still learning about it, but sleep is associated with mental activities that we still don't quite understand. So far they just explain it has a kid of maintenance/cleanup/defrag, or whatever. Sleep is not just about bodily rest and healing.
This is why sleep is so important when you're studying. You remember things better when you've slept adequately.
So I guess this is kind of like saying that you can accomplish more if you sleep properly. Einstein was known to sleep up to 8 to 10 hours a night. He did some cool shit.
