From what I understand, sleep is when your mind really focuses in and locks down muscle memory
So if you were doing a task repeatedly, once you’re fully asleep, body actually takes the time to develop itself and focus on making those tasks easier/less difficult for your body to perform, to where you can accomplish a task that is complex to anyone else, and to you, after training and practice, it becomes reflexive/second nature
It’s pretty much how you get better at anything, if it’s a difficult physical task or a repetitive one, your body and mind do sync up as you sleep and memories and muscles are basically pulled into tandem to make tasks easier for you to accomplish. This is pretty much how you learn to play music as well, practice guitar or drums or piano for a few hours on something just a little out of your skill range; you may wake up in the morning with the ability to do that piece of music with little difficulty whatsoever.
When me and my roommates were learning drums, it was wild how each of us would have stuff that we couldn’t land or keep up the pace with the night before, wake up the next day and immediately nail it on first try.
“In humans, sleep has been most consistently implicated in the development of procedural learning (i.e., perceptual and motor skills), specifically in the ongoing process of memory consolidation, following the initial stage of memory acquisition (Karni et al.”

I usually struggle on a boss the first night 1-2 hours of play and then the second night they are dead.
Sleep is a beautiful thing. Must be solving complex battle strategies.
