Says the person who believes slipping into a coma for 8 hours and hallucinating is somehow “restorative” and will give them energy (as opposed to, say, food, which actually gives you energy.)
Nobody who actually understands sleep believes it gives energy all by itself. It gives your brain time to do some “house cleaning,” clearing out the cobwebs as it were. Yes, you wake up feeling a bit more refreshed, but that will diminish in short order without breakfast to give your body the fuel it needs to create that energy you’re taking about.
What exactly do you think Jumanji is? It sounds like you think sleep is like Jumanji but in the movies you don’t go into Jumanji, Jumanji comes out of Jumanji. I mean technically one guy, Robin Williams, goes into Jumanji, but the rest of Jumanji is that Jumanji comes out of Jumanji, so it’s not like sleep, and suggesting so makes it clear you don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway if sleep was like Jumanji you would need medicine and rope and such to get out alive (from the series of jungle emergencies), not just coffee, so maybe try being prepared next time?
If you’re not some weird troll, your doctors are morons for not suggesting a sleep study if you went to them with half as much information as you’ve told lemmy like five different times.

Bullshit. More like “makes your brain like jumanji and it takes 8-9 hours to clean up”.

There are certain biochemical things the body is able to do only during sleep.
So yea, sleep is as important, perhaps more so, than eating.
People die from sleep loss faster than from food loss.
Try to stay awake for a month vs not eating for a month, guess which will kill you first.
Get a sleep study done, you got something going on.
