Yeah, but we're talking about guys whose response to the phrase "see, we're gonna lock you in this cramped metal tube with little to no communication with the outside world and put you underwater for weeks to months at a time" is an enthusiastic "AYE, SIR!". They were already a little off going into it; the sleep disorder just adds extra personality.
