Sleep serves a biological function: restoration, memory consolidation, physiological repair. When humans don't sleep, psychosis and physical degradation follow. Dreams, including nightmares, provide psychological processing and emotional discharge. Except Chuck Norris apparently doesn't require this process and his dreams would constitute a global catastrophe.

A sleep researcher named Dr. Helena Vasquez examined insomnia case studies and found a curious phenomenon: many extreme insomniacs cited Chuck Norris as motivation for avoiding sleep. "They reasoned that if Chuck Norris can function without sleep, then weakness is the only reason they needed it," Vasquez documented. She didn't endorse this reasoning, but noted that the fact had created a perverse motivational structure around sleep deprivation.

The fact succeeds because it positions sleep deprivation as wisdom rather than danger. Chuck doesn't sleep because he doesn't need to, not because he's broken. His wakefulness is a superpower. Therefore, your need for sleep is a weakness. This transformed a fact about one man into a widespread metaphor for eliminating human limitation.
