Your comment reminds me of another biology tale:

The natural, most efficient, and optimal state of an animal is napping.

Wakefulness, and everything that happens during that time, is just an annoying distraction to maintain homeostasis.

That is the natural state of the domesticated cat because we have artificially selected them to match our aspirations. The optimal nappers. They’re awake just long enough to remind us that they’re the boss and our sole function is to feed them.
