I just don't want it to rain again. The acid just pisses them off.

Let's see.
Electricity: It killed one and the others learned not to touch the electric fence.
Radiation: I've still got to live here, so this is out of the question.
Ugh. Any other ways any of you can think of?

With these things around, I'm stuck living in a dark metal bunker.

Just saying, not that it's needed, but just putting it out there that I do allow people to reapply for characters if theirs die. Y'know... If that had happened.

I seriously wonder what's different about me, having never experienced the mind-melting that everyone else seems to, even after 48 hours.

I've never hallucinated or anything like that either, and I've gone very nearly 3 days without sleep. However, that doesn't mean it hasn't had negative impacts on my health and/or psychology. I can link the decline in my memory to the increased frequency of all-nighters I pulled from middleschool to early college, as well as a general decline in my energy, and the increased frequency and severity of my depressions.

Anyway, like I said before, evolution presents a very strong case for me to get sleep every night. Sleeping renders an animal unable to act, defend themselves, or be aware of their environment, exposing them to serious risk of death every night. The cost for not sleeping has to be really significant to outweigh the huge handicap it poses on us. Basically, if not sleeping was even remotely feasible, evolution would have given us a lot more animals that didn't sleep, and out-competed or took advantage of those that did.

Yes, but even so....at least give them false hope!
