Maybe it's Maybelline. I bet everyone around here looks at me like a literal alien. Full police gear, hollow eyes, sneaking around bushes like a total creep. But the truth is, I'm tailing a suspect who's been trashing the town and harassing women.
Hey, Jenny, you look pretty rough. You should rest. You haven't slept in months.
That's Marcus, my co-worker and literal crush. Oh my god, he's actually worried about me. I'm... I'm totally fine. Hi, I'm Jenny, an ambitious rookie cop in Mississippi. But my overachiever energy immediately ended with a brutal 60-minute lecture from the chief.
That's the 10th time, Jenny! The 10th time you let a criminal slip away! I
swear I was locked in! It was just these flies buzzing in my ear making me lose focus. I blinked for a minute and boom! He sped off.
Chief, she has a point. Jenny really tried her best. It was just bad luck.
After all my explaining and pleading, the chief only threw one thing in my face. A wanted poster. It showed a mysterious, insanely slick thief who'd been causing chaos all over town lately.
How does Jenny’s extreme sleep‑deprivation routine (taping eyes, alarms, rock music) affect her investigation?
You have one month. Find him, or else.
Whether I got to keep my tiny little badge depended entirely on this case. So I made a vow. No bed, no sleep, not even a dramatic little nap until I found at least one clue. First, to keep my eyelids from hugging each other shut, I taped them open. Problem solved. No more blinking my way into a coma. To stay extra awake, I kept blasting rock and roll while I worked. I mean, you need a little beat in your body to get properly unhinged, okay? Finally, I pulled out my ultimate weapon. Setting an alarm for every five minutes. So every time I started getting all foggy and half dead, the alarm would scream in my face again. Effective? Oh, absolutely. Annoying? Also, absolutely. And obviously, do not copy any of this.
It's terrible for your health. I just had my reasons, okay? I was this close to losing my job. And while I was still losing my mind over that pile of evidence, I heard another loud bang, bang, bang at the door. You starting a rock band? Keep it down or I'm calling the cops. Take it easy. I am the cops. Well, your little stunts aren't fooling the security cameras. Wait, security cameras? I bolted and pulled a multi-day, all-nighter scanning city cameras. Total needle in a haystack.
What clues lead Jenny to suspect her high‑school rival Reed as the mastermind behind the robberies?
But then I saw a very familiar face. Reed? My high school arch-nemesis. Literal genius, but his emotional intelligence was negative infinity.
Look who stayed up studying. Acne everywhere. Sleep early, because the champion title is still mine.
Mind your own business! After graduation, he just stayed cooped up in his room, wandering around like a slacker. Yet somehow he always had cash. And what do I see now? A prime suspect lurking at every single crime scene right after a robbery. Gotcha! I tried to reward myself with a good sleep before traveling.

Maybe it's Maybelline. him but one hour two hours eyes wide open tossing and turning even the clock ticking drove me crazy but when I bounced out before the alarm completely awake I realized I had broken my sleep cycle I rolled into the precinct way earlier than usual and Marcus was already there
Wow you look joyful today
Yep, I just unlocked a new skill. Zero sleep, infinite energy.
That seems kind of unhealthy.
Now I had double the time to tail suspects and work the case without those stupid sleep attacks hitting me out of nowhere.
