I just searched "the god of sleep" and first up was Hypnos, the Greek deity associated with sleep. I'm not up on Greek mythology, but if I could corner this numb-nuts I'd have a bone to pick.
To wit, why in god's green hell would you make sleep an ability? A physical fucking ability, that one can of course, therefore lose! The body gets old and wears out, loses its' edge when it comes to sleeping.
I can understand giving kids the lion's share, what with all their growing and jumping around like monkeys and what not (good times), but why not save a little for the old-and-worn-out? We get tired, too, Mr. Hypnos! Damn tired. Do you know what you're depriving of humanity, keeping our batteries so low that the brain doesn't even want to come online?
We know stuff. We could help out. But I can't at the moment imagine how exactly. Any clue as to why, Hypnos? God of...
