Summary
As a chronic insomniac, he has long given up on techniques to help him fall asleep. He has tried everything from meditation to prescribed medication, all to no avail, but he still humours her from time to time when she suggests he limits his screen time and coffee intake before bed, even when he knows it ultimately won’t work.
Given his circumstances, he is the only person she knows—aside from those currently working their shift, which is obviously not his case tonight—that is willingly up at insane hours of the night. She reasons it must not be easy to fall asleep when you feel the constant need to be vigilant, no matter how many years have passed since it was a necessity. She knows about the nightmares that make it that much harder for him to get continuous sleep for more than two hours at a time. And she knows that he will find every and any excuse to stay up when he doesn’t need to. Add in his nocturnal tendencies, and it is no surprise his sleep schedule is basically nonexistent.
