We spent a lot of hours about a third of our life time in sleeping. Sleep is important to human beings and most creatures in order to maintain our physiological and also psychological function. However, the longest time of sleep deprivation is 11 days 24 minutes (264.4 days) which is a world record by Randy Gardner (18 years old then). Also there is another unconfirmed claim from an Australian National Sleep Research Project that it is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes.
The results of the sleep deprivation by those record holder reported to have blurred vision, hallucinations, memory lapses and paranoia thus this explains to human beings the need to sleep.

The time during when there were black and white television, most people who watched dreamt in black and white however when evolution began, and there were colored televisions then people dreamt in colored images. The blind people experience dreams involving smell, emotion, sound and touch instead of sight.
