Title: I was reading this article... Post by: RedSunOfKrypton on January 03, 2006, 03:46:29 PM I was reading this article on sleep, which has nothing to do whatsoever with Superman until you get to the last paragraph, then you'll see why I posted it. :D

Thanks, Jerome Siegel! Title: Re: I was reading this article... Post by: TELLE on January 04, 2006, 07:23:27 AM That's a funny coincidence. :D
Title: Re: I was reading this article... Post by: llozymandias on January 04, 2006, 05:56:19 PM That article said that herbivores need to eat all day & that they nap when they can. Then there is the fact that most herbivores are prey for carnivores. The life of a herbivore: constantly eating while trying to avoid being eaten. No wonder that they only nap when they can.
Title: Re: I was reading this article... Post by: NotSuper on January 05, 2006, 01:09:49 PM I've always thought that while Superman shouldn't physically need sleep, he would mentally. I see him getting about two hours of sleep each night. He has to always be prepared in case of an emergency.
Additionally, I'd think that he'd have his Superman robots fly around the Earth when he's either sleeping or posing as Clark Kent. It would create the illusion that Superman is always active. Title: Re: I was reading this article... Post by: Gernot on January 06, 2006, 07:07:18 AM It's been stated that Superman DOESN'T need sleep, but he DOES need to dream, just like humans.
That's why he WOULD take the time to go to sleep. Title: Re: I was reading this article... Post by: RedSunOfKrypton on January 06, 2006, 10:12:04 AM I think it says in Miracle Monday that he can sleep hemispherically like a dolphin.
