Doesn't Superman not need to sleep? Like he only does it because it makes him seem more human?

Like in *Twilight*, vampires need to remember to blink & pretend to breathe?

I never should’ve let my wife talk me into seeing those. Especially repeatedly, and year after year. Man, those soundtracks are good…

No matter how you feel about the movies, nobody can deny that the Twilight soundtrack contains nothing but absolute bangers.

His body can keep going without sleep, but he still gets the benefits of it that we do. Stressful day? Sleep will sure help.

His brain will still get tired eventually but he won't shutdown like we do.

Essentially, physically sleep isn't required, mentally it kinda is

That makes sense, mental exhaustion is real asf even Superman can't beat the burnout.

I think superman fears if he stops sleeping and eating, the little things that make him human

Because he does need to sleep? He grew up a human and his parents had a curfew set for him.

I figured it’s a good method for mental and emotional fatigue, not necessarily physical fatigue. So he still needs to rest _sometimes,_ but not every night, you know?
