Here's an idea that I've got, and don't mind my wording being off as it's being posted after another all nighter.
We don't know why we need to sleep, but we generally agree that it's because of something that is going on within the brain when we do, and not going on within the brain when we don't. So, what if we force these processes to occur while we're awake, for example by electronically stimulate the areas of the brain that are more active during sleep? Would that produce any affect at all? |

To elaborate on my theory that sleep is a period of time for more blood to get to the brain, I would like to add that it is known that when body tissue is starved of blood, unintentional death occurs in the starved tissue region. Perhaps, some sort of "sickening" of the nerve cells is taking place when a person is deprived of sleep (and thus deprived of this period of time to re-energize).
