Perhaps to Minmize the noise and other signals that must be produced by the brain. Being crushed and shot through a tube under compression is probably very tiring too. But more than likely, there is no reason that all of gestation would not occur with the fetus essentially continuously asleep. Some people are able to function at a very high level and yet be completely asleep.
