It's obvious yet controversial. The only reason to think and move (read: spend a lot of energy) is to gather food, acquire a mate and find a safe shelter to return to sleep.

Sleeping exists therefore it must be more beneficial than staying awake for 24 hours. It doesn't imply sleep is the default state of animals, it still could have evolved later after the brain.

>the default state...
...is that adaptation doesn't take place unless the benefits outweigh the costs. Muscles and brains are extremely expensive therefore life forms are by default not self-moving and not conscious.
