Thoughts on VRMMO stories with time compression (Bofuri, Accel World, etc.)

Sleep is pretty poorly understood right now, we know it's not just a matter of physical rest but that there is a significant mental component.

So while you're in VR your body may be unconscious or semi-conscious, at least getting some rest, yeah, your brain/mind needs the chance to do whatever background processing it does while you're asleep.
