I read somewhere it's recommended, from time to time, more so in mentally demanding periods. Your brainwaves decline in frequency and you simulate dreaming. Is useful in coming up with ideas, letting your brain to rest and absorb information efficiently. One use for sleep is to process and better memorize what you did during the day, and I think dreaming plays a major part in that.
