The evolutionary argument is nice but maybe we're just stuck in an old 'branch' local minima. Think of axolotl limb regeneration. We only have partial regeneration but somehow nature felt it was more efficient not to regenerate full limbs and try to survive crippled. Long sleep may have been necessary, but maybe that's not the case anymore.
