How does lack of rest cause hallucinations?

Question

I get lack of memory, because the electric charges that build up can be transferred to long term storage during rest, so being offline helps that process. But how is it that a lack of rest leads to haywire perceptions and phantom surges of electricity by sense neurons/nerve clusters?

I dont know, it ls supposed that hallucination and disperception arise form imbalance in inhbitory and excitatory balance in neuronal circuits. brain acidemia arise after sleep deprivation due to depletion of brain creatine that seems to needs deep sleep to regenerate and this could cause accumulation of inorganic phosphate that cause metabolic dearrangement and widespreaded change in brain function.
Schizofrenia a psychotic disorder seems associated with brain acidemia too.
