Sleepless Intelligence "Alright everyone, let's get going bright and early! Now where can I get some coffee..."

1
You possess superhuman wits and insight.
Used by Dr. Erin Skunk, Created by TheSuperChrisb.
( Your Bags Under Eyes - Sleep 6 hours or less every night! must be used or obviously visible while you are actively benefitting from this effect.)

Most people simply lie when they say sleeping less makes them *more* awake.

Skunk doesn't need to.

Years of all-nighters have finally paid off, so much so that she can't seem to keep herself from pulling them... She tells herself that she's a night owl, but she's a little more than that. Even a simple power nap is all she needs to start the ideas machine again. With a nothing more than a cup of coffee in hand, she's readier than ever to start working.

Skunk's sleeplessness paradoxically increases her ability to recall any facts or information that she has come into contact with. No matter how long ago she read it, the information is locked in like a steel trap. In addition, when she focuses her mental energy to a task, she finds herself easily pushing beyond her limits, ignoring even the most harsh of injuries or stressors.

Unfortunately, this newfound ability has not done much for her social skills, as the know-it-all inside of her has come forward in force. Even so, her twitter hot takes seem to gather more and more of an audience, regardless of how insufferable she's become.
