Does sleep make you happy? What are your thoughts on sleep?

Almost as soon as mankind was created, people began to start sleeping. Adam and Eve rarely slept and perhaps their vulnerability to the serpent can be attributed to a lack of sleep. Likewise, perhaps Cane and Abel wouldn't have had such problems if they had a few hours more shuteye. Sleep was amongst God's greatest gifts to man. Imagine the pleasure that the first humans felt when, after a hard day of avoiding Saber tooth Tigers, they crawled back into their caves and closed their eyes and drifted off....lucky devils. Giraffes sleep standing up. They sleep for about 5 minutes at a time and total only about 20 minutes of sleep each day. Giraffes seem to be generally very unhappy. The happiest moments in my life are half-dreamy slumbers on a lazy work-free morning. Sunlight warms the room, but does not my eyelids. I often go to sleep with pajama bottoms, socks and a t-shirt on. When I awake I am naked. This is a popular phenomenon, known in scientific circles as theft. My family members steal my clothes in the night and sell them down at the market. I often drive to work and see kids walking to school wearing the clothes that only the night before I was sleeping in. It is a disturbing development.
