[The young woman's face that appears on screen doesn't look nearly as exhausted as it probably should. Her voice, however, is as weary as she's pretty sure everyone is feeling.]

So I'm curious. Does anyone out there know the side effects of not getting any sleep? [She pauses to consider something.] Or maybe how long they'll take to start showing up? [Another pause.] I just think that might be some useful information for people in general to have and, well, like I said. I'm curious.

[For the record, Claire hasn't been sleeping pretty much at all. However her ability is working overtime to keep circles from appearing under her eyes as well as countering the other, less pleasant, side effects that come with not getting enough rest. There's still the random, occasional bleeding that she can't explain but that's neither here nor there, right?]

[ slightly slurred: ]

Don't they say you drop dead if you don't sleep for like two weeks?

Hunh. I guess that might be true. [ not that he's ever seen 'fight club' ]

But as for, uh, stuff other than death. I think if you're kept from sleeping for long enough you like, start blacking out for half-seconds and you start hallucinating and shaking. Difficulty focusing on things, too.
