He seemed to have a lot of regrets, at any rate.

I think his "let's sleep for a while" line is significant, though. I think the trauma of everything he'd been through, and the strain of the Kakuja, became too much for him.

He's repressing his memories, because by that point he was pretty much broken. He'd simply been pushed to the brink, and psychologically the only way to survive was to repress his memories.

As Sasaki, he's instinctively afraid of his memories and experiences intense pain in relation to them.
