How come mammals haven't evolved beyond the need to sleep?

Sleeping obviously leaves creatures vulnerable, and the less time they spend sleeping, the more time they can spend avoiding predators, finding food, mating etc, so the less we sleep the more we can survive and reproduce, so after thousands of years, how come animals haven't slowly evolved away from needing sleep?

My least favourite thing to do 🙃

It has to be taped and finished too. Won't just let me fire caulk it. Lame sauce. Got a whole building to do.

These pike got some wild battle wounds

Gotta be a few big boys in there. Bite mark on the first one is the size of my hand.

Catching monsters in South Eastern Saskatchewan (I've never caught a pike this small before in my life)

Little red belly snake I found while fishing.

It was a nice surprise and they're usually not found this far east. Little noodle swam across the river in front of me. South Eastern Saskatchewan, in the Pipestone valley

Eastern Phoebe keeping me company while I fish

I fished for 4.5 hours and only caught 1 pike. I blame this bird. This bird brought me bad luck and negative omens.

My children made my birthday the best ever.

Yesterday was my birthday. Normally I hate my birthday. I don't like getting older, I miss my 20s. The day started as usual, I got out of bed and quietly got ready for work, I usually try to sneak out without waking them so their Mom can get a bit more sleep. As I was putting my boots on, my 3 y/o daughter runs out of her bedroom and yells "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY DADDY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!". My 1 y/o son cam crawling after her with his big cornball smile.

Around 4:00 I got a message from my wife, she sent me a video of my daughter standing on a chair by the open window yelling "Daddy come home! It's your birthday, we need you!". I told the guys to wrap up early, she wants me home, work can wait until tomorrow. When I walked in the door, she was waiting for me to give me the biggest hug and yells "happy birthday Daddy!", my son comes crawling up again, with his big cheesey smile, so I picked him up too and held him and my daughter for a bit until my arms got sore. When I set her down, she ran to the fridge and yells "Daddy look at the cake we made for you!" Her mom told her I was allowed to see it, and to let me go shower. When I came out she runs up again and says "Daddy come look at the present we got you! I want to share it with you, I'll use the blue and you use the red!". They got me 2 foam disc shooters, so we had a disc fight while we waited for supper, the whole time she laughed and smiled. We even helped my son try to shoot it and it made him giggle so hard.

After supper she opened the fridge and brought out a plate full of cupcakes. She asked me to light the candles, and she sang happy birthday to me by herself. It was the cutest thing. When she realized she was the only one singing, she yelled at Mom, and my Mom to sing to me too.

After supper, I layed on my son's bed and cuddled him to sleep, while she layed on my chest. Afterwards, we layed in her bed and watched Franklin on my phone until she fell asleep. Part of me wanted to wake her back up, I didn't want it to end. But instead I let her sleep and layed beside her and enjoyed the moment.

When I was a kid, my birthday's were spent with friends from school.

When I was a teenager, it was spent walking around with my friends, if I was lucky my uncle or dad would buy us a 6 pack.

19-27 my birthday's were spent packing my nose full of as much cocaine and oxy as I could afford.

Sometimes I miss those days, the freedom and excitement, no obligations.

Yesterday I turned 31, and my children made it the best birthday i've ever had. It made me realize I don't miss those days as much as I thought. I want every birthday to be like this, for the rest of my life. There's nowhere else I'd rather be, and nobody else I'd rather spend it with.

My god these are good.

I don't even like artificial watermelon flavour, and this is still so delicious to me.

New favourite 😋

The Shell gas station in my town randomly started stocking new (to me) energy drinks, so I've got a whole bunch of new kinds to try. This is my new favourite. El Jefe phantom lemonade is also sooooo good. The selection here has always been very mild, but they recently started selling Bucked up (meh), Bum energy (also meh), Ryse (not bad), and a few other brands I forget. This is sooo.good though.

Been on and off all day. Went out and caught a few walleye during an earlier storm. Love a nice thunderstorm ⛈️

Anyone checked out the new Dwarves album "Jenkem"

I enjoy it so far. Only on the 3rd song though.

Does anyone know what happened to the members of Cedar Street Sluts?

I know GG was heavily involved with them, but I'm wondering what happened to them after? Who even are the members? I can find their stage names but nothing on their real names or what they did after.

Wanted to cast a few on the way home from work but didn't have any tails, just hooks, so I cut the wrist band off a work glove and caught a little pike
