Corpse Girl’s brain resets during sleep

“I hooked her up to an EEG the first night before she fell asleep. Even exes give off basic readings. There’s still electrical activity in their brains, it’s just very, very low. Below comatose levels.”
“[MADELYN’S] readings aren’t that different from your standard ex-human.“
…
“Then she fell asleep. Her EEG went to a complete flatline.”
…
“Meaning corpse. I got nothing from her. Absolutely nothing. A potato would give me more responses. It was more like she died—really died—than fell asleep.”
“Is that what messes up her memories?”
“Maybe…I don’t know how she even has thoughts, let alone memories. Her brain completely shuts off when she sleeps. Her blood isn’t circulating. Preliminary results from her tissue samples indicate her muscles aren’t manufacturing lactic acid. Every test I know how to do says she’s just … dead. I have no idea how she’s thinking or talking or moving around.”
