This is very interesting to me, I've been sleeping a lot lately.

I'm autistic and just went through massive changes that basically keep locking up my brain and I freeze.

I learned that sleeping helps, even if just 20 minutes. It helps that I can fall asleep "while awake". It's as if I relinquish control of responding to stimuli, which instantly brings so much rest to my mind. It is odd trying to move a limb and the brain basically responds with noop. But it works.

Afterwards I can generally make a decision and perform it.

So in a sense it seems similar to what you describe the model would have to do. I forget short term concerns that overwhelm and refocus on the long term goal.
