Special Agent Dana Scully Case: 2X04/Sleepless Described in the report is a highly experimental neurosurgical procedure designed to induce a permanent waking state. The procedure involved cutting part of the brain stem in the midpontile region - which would explain Henry Willig's scar. A similar scar should also be evident on Augustus Cole. Post-op treatment included a regimen of synthetic supplements to replenish the organic deficits caused by prolonged lack of sleep. This is consistent with the antidepressants Cole robbed from the pharmacy. These drugs maintain serotonin levels in the blood, serotonin being the primary substance produced during sleep. While it is theoretically possible that this procedure greatly diminished the subjects need for sleep, I can neither quantify nor substantiate its success without further evidence.
