[See Michael? Displeased Michael is displeased, and his normal good looks are somewhat marred by that he looks a bit like a zombie by this point from lack of sleep. Also half his hair is sticking up comically. HE DOES NOT NOTICE.]This event has lasted over a week. Has one ever been permanent

None of them have been permanent, but some have lasted longer than a week.

I suggest you get some sleep, Michael-san. A human body cannot function too long without.

[swordoffate]

What's the longest one's lasted for?

I've been made aware of that, but it's easier said than done. How do humans manage it every night?

[bunny_flower]

There once was an entire month of nothing but events.

I have never really thought about it, as we shinigami have the same sleep patterns that they do.

[swordoffate]

Were they all different events?

It takes getting used to for being that don't sleep. My siblings and I have never done so before in the billions of years we have existed.

[bunny_flower]

They were repeats of prveious events. Some events have also lasted two weeks before.

I suggest lying down, closing your eyes and trying to breathe as deeply as possible. The body should do the rest once you are relaxed enough.

[Hearing some have been two weeks is reassuring. Maybe this one just is too.]

Then maybe this one'll be over next week.

[And he actually looks uncomfortable for a moment, which is weird for him.]

Falling asleep isn't the problem, it's staying that way.

[bunny_flower]

... Dreams?

[swordoffate]

Yes. We've never dreamed before.

[bunny_flower]

For human beings, dreams are a necessary physiological process. They help with memorizing and learning processes.

[swordoffate]

So I've heard, but all they do is wake us up. It seems kind of counterproductive.

[bunny_flower]

How come they wake you up?

[swordoffate]

I'm not sure. It's a human response, I suppose. Perhaps an adrenaline rush.
