With the growth of the consciousness the need for sleep diminishes because the sleep becomes more quiet and more conscious, more restful and thus the number of hours of sleep can be diminished. But to diminish the sleep by force so long as one feels sleepy is not good because it strains the nerves and makes them restless.
