Xu et al. show that waking progressively disrupts neural dynamics criticality in the visual cortex and that sleep restores it. Deviations from criticality predict future sleep/wake behavior better than prior behavior and slow-wave activity.

      I’ve always felt sleep is like stand by mode, and dreams are just your brain defragmenting.

      We have to reboot after daily updates.

      Oh no, we run windows!
