Currently not in a frame of mind for focus but want to ask about two related questions. A quick search didn’t seems to find some key words so don’t think you discussed in the post (but again, not well focused right now so maybe fit better with some of the quotes you conclude with ;-)
First, seems like there might be a opposing result related to limiting sleep and the reverse flow for cleaning out toxin accumulation in the brain. Did you find any mention of that aspect?
Second, and I have zero basis for the thought other than it was something that popped into my hear the other day when something got me thinking about “why sleep?”. The brain has huge energy demands but we have limited energy production (I think) systemically. That got me thinking that perhaps sleep is more about consuming energy output for non-mental repair/growth related needs of the body. If so then there seems we might want to look at balancing between the two demands. I would think different people will find different optimal points (and we probably see that naturally).
