As I become more interested in the brain as it relates to rest and sleep, I wonder if the brain processes rest and sleep as input.  I've learned that when we 'sleep' our brain continues to process all the 'inputs' it has received, now having a time to 'catch up'.  So...does our brain ever sleep, or is it processing the input that the body is sleeping?
