What is the purpose of sleep?

I've been feeling so tired lately, even after sleeping for 7-8 hours. It makes me wonder, why do we even need to sleep so much? What is the actual purpose of sleep?

My doctor warned me that poor sleep directly spikes my blood pressure. Sleep is essential to keep your blood vessels relaxed and your stress levels under control.

Sleep is when your body does all its internal repairs. If you can't sleep, try keeping your phone away and drinking a cup of warm milk before bed.
