You aren’t unconscious, you’re asleep. That’s why they’re two different words.

You know how every so often computers need to restart to do updates and get their shit together? They don’t shut off, they just clear their working memory out so they can start fresh, and do some housekeeping that’s hard to do when you’re asking them to do stuff like calculate your finances in a spreadsheet.

The brain isn’t so different.
