Okay. During a nighttime meeting, the Losties question Juliet's loyalty in a nighttime meeting, when Jack and Juliet show up ("The Man Behind the Curtain").

Let's say they went to sleep after that, because if they didn't, it will only make things worse.

So, the next day, Jack is taking a group to a field where Rousseau shows off her pyrotechnics skills. They then return to the beach to prepare their plan when all of a sudden, Karl shows up and screws up their schedule ("Greatest Hits").

So a few hours later, the Losties leave their camp and hike to the radio tower. Come nighttime, and the trap Sayid, Bernard and Jin have set up for the Others doesn't quite work out as planned. Jack and his group keep on moving ("Through the Looking Glass, Part 1").

The next day, they arrive at the radio tower, while Sawyer, Juliet and Hurley go back to save their friends. Jack makes contact with Naomi's freighter ("Through the Looking Glass, Part 2").

After making contact with the freighter, the two groups of Losties meet at the cockpit of Oceanic 815. This is the second night they've been moving across the island. The Losties split up into two groups, Team Jack and Team Locke ("The Beginning of the End").

Jack and Kate make contact with Daniel Faraday. The next day, they move on to meet Miles and Lapidus, while Charlotte encounters Team Locke and gets taken hostage ("Confirmed Dead").

Sayid takes Miles and Kate to the Barracks, where they get taken prisoner by Team Locke. Sayid exchanges Miles for Charlote and returns to the helicopter. Sayid and Desmond board the helicopter, and Lapidus takes them off the island ("The Economist").

So unless Jack, Kate and everyone else have taken naps when we weren't looking, they haven't been sleeping for about 60 hours by this point!

I guess the folks at the Barracks will be able to catch some sleep now, but there hasn't been any indication that Jack, Kate or Sayid have been sleeping at all!

I assume this is just one of those TV things - who wants to see Jack sleep? Okay, there are probably quite a few viewers who would kill to watch Jack sleep, but you know what I mean. It's like, where do the Losties do their necessities? We don't need to see the Craphole crap-hole - we just assume they do it somewhere. Otherwise, my Theory would be that they're all robots, of course.

So, long story short, I'm guessing they all just curl up somewhere and get at least a few winks.

It would be a lot easier on any of them if they have a double and sleep in shifts.

Oh, yeah, that would be much easier. I'm always saying to myself : If only I had a double to sleep in shifts with me. :rolleyes:

I was actually thinking about this the other day, and I was also thinking that they haven't eaten in awhile either. I know these things tend to take place off camera, but it seems like there has been a lot of action lately and no time for resting & eating.

Well, Sawyer was just about to take a pee when Locke showed up at the beginning of "The Brig", so...

Walt peed once too. ;)

Nevermore >

I'm afraid I don't get your point - "so . . ." what?
Are you suggesting that having seen Sawyer and Walt pee the fact that we haven't seen Jack, for example, do the same is a clue? I assume you don't mean that, but that's how it seems to read.

No, I just mean that doing your necessities doesn't take as long as sleeping. Someone could be off-camera and take a pee, but they can't just catch sleep for one day during a cut scene that takes about twenty minutes of island time. If everyone's constantly moving, they don't have the time to sleep. But if they take a break for about an hour, they can eat or pee. Difference in time required.

(of course, the question would be, when and where did Anthony Cooper do it while he was a captive of the Others for over a week?)

But basically, we get an Ep per Day, and an Ep being 42 minutes, well, they have to cut out things like eating, sleeping, peeing. They're just things that we can take for granted. One day they might do another "48 Days"-style Ep in which they show us all of their meals and things, but until they do I think we'll have to do without sleep scenes. ;)
