Dr Samuel McGuffin (account age 496 days, site membership 495 days) recently coldposted the following page, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8159 page title "SCP-8159 | The Man Who Never Sleeps"
**Item#:** SCP-8159 | The Man Who Never Sleeps
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8159 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-[REDACTED]. The chamber must be equipped with continuous low-level lighting to simulate a diurnal cycle, despite SCP-8159's lack of sleep requirements. Surveillance is to be maintained at all times, with particular attention to any anomalous activities during periods corresponding to typical human sleep cycles.
Any personnel attending to SCP-8159 must undergo a psychological evaulation before-hand to determine whether they are fit to tend to SCP-8159's needs. In addition to this, any and all members of the Foundation who interact with this SCP must undergo a bi-weekly psychological examination to determine whether any distress signals may be affecting the member. Any personnel reporting sleep disturbances or vivid dreams following interaction with SCP-8159 are to be reassigned pending further assessment to determine if an anomaly has occured in their mentality. At the end of a 3-month period, foundation member rotations should take place as to avoid any feuds between SCP-8159 and a member of the foundation.
**Description:**
SCP-8159 is a male human of apparent Middle Eastern descent, approximately 35 years of age, who exhibits a complete absence of sleep and does not seem to age. Medical examinations confirm the total lack of REM and non-REM sleep cycles, with no observable detriment to physical or cognitive functions. SCP-8159 has not slept since initial containment on ██/██/19██, and claims to have not slept for an indeterminate period prior.
Neurological assessments reveal heightened activity in regions associated with memory consolidation and sensory processing, suggesting a continuous state of wakefulness without fatigue. SCP-8159 demonstrates exceptional cognitive abilities, including rapid learning and eidetic memory, though it reports increasing difficulty distinguishing between current experiences and memories.
SCP-8159 has expressed a desire to sleep, citing mental exhaustion and a longing for dreams. Attempts to induce sleep through pharmacological means have been unsuccessful; sedatives and anesthetics produce no effect. SCP-8159 reports experiencing vivid hallucinations during periods corresponding to typical sleep times, often describing them as "waking dreams" that blur the line between reality and imagination.
**Addendum 8159-A:**
On ██/██/20██, SCP-8159 began exhibiting signs of psychological distress, including disorganized speech and paranoia. During a scheduled interview, SCP-8159 stated:
> "I see them when I close my eyes, even for a moment. Figures watching, waiting. I can't tell if they're real or just dreams I've never had."
Subsequent monitoring revealed no external stimuli corresponding to SCP-8159's descriptions. However, EEG readings indicated abnormal brainwave patterns during these episodes, resembling those found in REM sleep, despite SCP-8159 remaining fully conscious.
**Addendum 8159-B:**
On ██/██/20██, after increased hallucinations, SCP-8159 began to emit an overwhelming feeling of fatigue and confusion to any of those in a proximity of around 10m. 4 Days later, personnel D-████ fell unconscious from the effects of SCP-8159 and died exactly 81 minutes and 59 seconds later. After further testing, it was concluded that anything with a voltage of 1 or less would be disrupted; including: Lamps, Devices, Heartbeats. In accordance to this experiment, Dr [REDACTED] recommended that any personnel attending to SCP-8159 must wear a techwear-faraday suit which can conduct a low voltage. Additionally, all lamps must have an increased voltage of 1.5Volts or more.
**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, SCP-8159 is to be tested once a month to psycologically examinate whether changes in mentality have occured. Additionally, due to the little we know about SCP-8159, all personnel attending to the SCP must proceed with extreme caution level 3. Any sign of agitation may increase the effects of the fatigue and confusion and must be reported directly to Dr [REDACTED] and charge scientist of the site at the time. Furthermore, special code: [REDACTED] can be used to immediately deploy a Rapid Response Team with the proper equipment to the SCP cell location in case of an attempted breach or agitation. Any foundation member who attempts to agitate SCP-8159 will be removed by force from the containment chamber and will be given a psycological evaulation and any infraction necessary up to and including termination from the SCP: Foundation.
