A problem with the predator theory is that some apex predators sleep a lot. Lions and tigers sleep 18-20 hours a day.

I have to admit that if you told me I had to spend 8 hours lying very still in the dark not saying anything and hoping not to be eaten, “just put me under, doc” would come pretty quickly.

One of my fav insights about sleep is that growing children become taller primarily at night while incapacitated and horizontal. They eat a bunch and go to bed to lengthen, really. Perhaps it's too much to ask that this happen while fighting vertical gravity.
