ELI5: Is constantly drifting in and out of sleep bad for my body kind of like repeatedly powering on and off a laptop?

To some effect, but for a different reason. You need REM sleep to fully recover, and the more you wake up the less *good* sleep you get. But waking up repeatedly is not necessarily bad for you, you just wont feel as rested in the morning.
