Interesting concept . . .

I am not a sleep scientist, but I believe that the type of fatigue experienced after 36-48 hours of wakefulness may not be the same type of "fatigue" experienced when being rousted from dreamy sleep at 3am.

I suggest simulating a home defense scenario with Airsoft guns, having trusted friends or spouse wake you from sleep, then hustle you to engage either paper targets or force-on-force live opponents. The force-on-force option would require safety gear worn by all participants; you would not have to sleep with the gear on; the "safety officer" could help you into the gear and escort you quickly to the shooting scenario before you get to 100% or drink a caffeinated beverage.

I think this would be help you learn most of what you are after while sidestepping the liabilities and logistical problems associated with trying to do this with real firearms and ammunition.

JM2CW, take it or leave it.
