The perpetually tired don't think straight.
Take a bunch of prisoners, lock them in a pen, make them as uncomfortable as possible and feed them shitty food, and if you're VERY VERY lucky, they'll only manage to take it out on each other.
And if you're not…well….

Spartan circumstances only build character when you're allowed to maintain a certain level of self respect and esprit de corps.
And as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by, your ass starts to ache, your eyes cloud over, and your brain begins firing on one single cylinder.
