Thanks for your facts and info.
I would contend that the evolution of creatures leads to sleep as one
mode to help digestion.
Bears eat and then hibernate.
What animal eats and then becomes MORE active?
What the point? Creatures sleep when they stand little
to no chance of finding food or sexual partner. Being active
requires energy/food. Sleep conserves resources, that's all.
Once you are not hungry, there is little point of being active.

Sleep conservers resources is a part of it, but why not just be
inactive,
and awake and alert to danger. No there is more to sleep than just
that.
