Is Life Really Just a Timer?

So I was thinking about stuff and I came across this very interesting thought, the thought is in the title as you can see. As you think about it, yes, I think on my opinion that life could just be a timer. Now you  may be wondering *What in the world are you talking about?!* 

So for one example eating food is just basically restarting the timer for your hunger. And same goes for when you're thirsty.When you're sleeping it's like charging yourself like a phone with energy , but with rest instead. Then you wake up and your awake until some time has passed and now you're tired so then you rest up for some hours until it all repeats again. And you probably do a daily routine ex: brushing your teeth, going to work or school, etc in the morning/night/etc every day/week. And that week repeats and repeats every 7 days. Then those 7 days turn into weeks, then those weeks turn into month, then those months turn into years, then those years turn into decade's and so on. Then soon before you know it, you're gone. So savour every moment in your life because you only get it once.
