I know right. It is not only counterintuitive, but psychologically incoherent as to how sleep initiation actually works.

A loading screen is psychologically linked to anticipatory arousal and goal-oriented expectancy, which activates the sympathetic nervous system. That is the opposite of what sleep requires, which depends on parasympathetic dominance and cognitive disengagement. Using a "loader" for falling asleep primes vigilance and temporal monitoring instead of relaxation, making it conceptually misaligned with sleep onset mechanisms.

Just my 2 cents.
