If you can’t sleep so you lay still for an extended period of time with your eyes closed, does that do anything to restore energy? Or does the fact you’re still awake make it a useless gesture?

Not moving is one of the ways your body knows it’s time to be unconscious. Fastest way to get to sleep is to get comfortable and then stop moving **completely** (except to breathe). Unfortunately, any muscle movement will reset the process to zero. In short, you don’t toss and turn because you can’t sleep; you can’t sleep because you keep tossing and turning.
