Creatures that don’t get high enough are ‘killed’, and the remaining creatures have children to pass their superior genes forward, along with small, but important, mutations. Slowly, the creatures become better and better.

Most of my immediate family tend to find they get to sleep quite quickly, but it takes me a good half-hour on average to actually fall asleep.
