Why is micro sleep different ? Too much need of rest ? No preparation of the body before to fall asleep ? When I want to sleep I put myself on the bed and get immediately asleeped. After two or three cycles of sleep I wake up very quickly, standing up and starting my day immediately, just switching my brain and body state. If I am very tired I first rest, eat, work quietly, surf on pprune, aso.So I agree that sleep is not the same as rest.
