If resting counted as worthwhile as sleep, what pressure would that remove from tonight and tomorrow?

Session Recap
01
Sleep arrives in waves
Sleepiness naturally increases and decreases rather than remaining constant throughout the night. Feeling briefly more alert does not mean the opportunity for sleep has been lost. Missing one period of sleepiness does not prevent another from arriving later. There is no need to chase sleep before the next period appears.

Rest still has value
Quiet wakefulness is not identical to sleep, but it can still provide physical rest. A night does not have to contain perfect sleep to include something restorative.

03
Rest reduces performance pressure
Treating rest as worthwhile removes the demand to make sleep happen immediately. Sleep then has more opportunity to occur without being constantly checked.
