Sleep is important for keeping the brain tidy. In experiments with mice it could be established that during sleep some of the connections between neurons in the brain are removed. Putting it differently, some weak connections not needed any longer are deleted to make room for new ones. It is assumed that this is an important and evolutionary old mechanism and holds also for humans.
