"You sleep in order to process memories, reorganize the brain and grant it rest. However, if you use restoration to do all the things required for sleep, without shutting down the brain, you essentially find no more need for sleep, other than to rest the body. Now, every Fontaine main line child is taught this skill, to channel their own restoration into their mind, and we do it every night. Eventually, it becomes inbuilt. Inborn. Sleep becomes extra" said Fionn.

"Then again, if you know the origin of the Fontaine family, our daedric ancestry allows us to bypass many things that normal mortals would require. It is theoretically possible for a non Fontaine to learn the skill to avoid sleep, but it would take many years. As for why I needed sleep four years ago, I used up all my magicka and stamina. Sleep for us is simply a process to accelerate regeneration, and we need no more than four hours."

Fionn seemed to have a smile on his face, and he concluded "I can teach you my technique, but you probably can only use it to extend non sleep periods to maybe a week. Your body is not resilient enough to handle longer periods, because the human body needs to slow down for repairs. A Fontaine body doesn't have to. We do have problems, like starving faster than normal people, due to a lack of ability to store much fat, which necessitates that we have our meals, due to bodily processes, and we lose the ability to cast illusion and conjuration, due to our ability to discern the truth, and how the daedra reject us."
