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?

I'm actually planning to go to the Sleep disorders laboratory at UC Davis to run some of my ideas by them...I'll let you guys know what develops.
