Evolution is like DFS depth first search, it isnt looking for an optimal way optimally its just going down a branch until it finds a satisfactory solution. Sleep according to sleep scientist matthew walker, isnt what it seems. If i remember correctly theres even more brain activity and it serves certain goals like behavior refinement, among other things not just refreshing yourself. There might not be more benefit by more sleep.

My simple conception is that evolution loves local maxima.

  Therefore mutations ensure you don't get stuck there.

    Then some bored postgrad adds grasshopper gears & wheels to a lab cockroach. One mutation to force evolution everywhere. Little chitin matchbox racecaroaches everywhere ..

It never left the "does need to sleep" branch. It's not much a sci fi writer.

Exactly, it takes more time and energy to undo a mutation that unblocks a better solution than it is to mutate a solution that works with existing mutations. It's why intelligent machines will absolutely destroy us when it comes to being "superior".
