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?
In: Biology
It doesn’t really do anything to restore energy, more that it slows the rate at which you use up your current energy reserve, so if the goal is to ultimately recharge your batteries it is pretty much a “useless gesture”.
There’s some discussion around the idea that a deep meditative state can give the feeling of energy being restored, but it’s not really been proven scientifically, it’s likely more a perceived effect not unlike a placebo.
