Brains aren't idle when we sleep. I guess AI sleeping would be similar in that it stops taking in new inputs (stimuli) and just does internal processing for a while. Pretty similar to how many big systems (eg. banking) have daily offline periods when batch processes run.

I mean, I kinda think of sleep as defragging the brain so 😆
