Is the only way to get rid of sleeping is to transfer our consciousness into machines?
Is there a way to augment the brain, to "recharge" it without causing any damage to it?
Sleeping is like hitting a reset button, but imagine not suffering of the psychological side effects of not sleeping for a moment. A day flows into another day and you keep getting a bigger picture as time goes on. Sleeping generally has a lot of downsides, however it's required to stay alive. Can it be removed?

Machines can't be conscious. Consciousness isn't a physical property that you can put into or emulate with a machine either? Think of an elephant. Does your mental image have any weight? Is your thought of an elephant heavier than your thought of a feather? It's a category error to think that thought and matter are interchangeable or homogeneous.

during the day when you're awake your brain is going 100% without rest. Your nerve cells are using all of their energy and machinery for neuronal transmitting. Then when you sleep your nerves are able to clean up their waste material and repair themselves.
You need to sleep. Otherwise your brain whithers and you die.
