   Summary

   At first, Bucky didn’t sleep at all.

   They noticed it while he was recovering from his injuries—once the anesthetics wore off, he simply stayed awake.

   It was Natasha who found the files that explained it.

   Stability protocol: the Asset must remain conscious; any mission downtime longer than 24 hours requires cryogenic storage; memory wipes must be administered before and after each operation.

   HYDRA had completely stripped away his ability to sleep.

   Put simply: Bucky no longer knew how to fall asleep.
