Sleep is essential for brain functionality and overall health but understanding how sleep delivers its beneficial effects remains largely unknown. Sleep researchers are exploring new and unbiased approaches that can take sleep to a systems level. In one such approach, referred to as 'systems genetics', inferences about biological phenomena can be made by linking together several levels of information from DNA to phenotype via gene expression, proteins and metabolism at the level of a population. Systems genetics offers a global and interconnected view of biological phenomena and is therefore considered critical towards predicting disease susceptibility.

I honestly can't decide whether this is pure bio-babble snakeoil or actual science.
I would be really interested in the latter, can you point me to some studies? (... the kind that gets published on arxiv.org or some similar place ...)

I also found those comments interesting.
I do know that the Vitamin B/Iron mechanism has some interesting support: Folate and vitamin B12 supplementation reduces disabling schizophrenia symptoms [massgeneral.org] and Folate, vitamin B12 help schizophrenia symptoms [nurse.com], but I've never heard of the Gravity angle.
