I think its note worthy that humans actually fail this test... We have to go dormant for 8 hours every day.

Yes, but our brain is still working and processing information at those times as well, isn't it? Even if not in the same way as it does when we're conscious.
What about general anesthesia? I had a major operation during which most of my brain was definitely offline for at least 8 hours.
Anesthesia shouldn't take your brain offline. It just makes you unconscious, paralyzes you, and gives you amnesia. Your brain is still active under general anesthesia. What you were thinking or feeling for those 8 hours was just forgotten.
