Maybe he's staring at the ceiling. We haven't heard anything about his glasses, so I assume he has those at night. In January, they took them away for a few nights (but left him with his underwear... strange).
He could be sleeping, but it's got to be cold. No clothing whatsoever. A single, abrasive blanket. The only pillow, built into the mattress. It's probably not consistently quiet or dark, either, and he's unable to curl up against the wall or cover his head.
I can't sleep without a pillow between my legs and the ability to adjust my head pillow when it gets too warm. I'd be fine with the naked part, but if I get cold at night, my body can't warm up without another blanket. So I'd be staring at the ceiling. Which is awful, knowing that when I am prodded alive again at 5 am, I won't be allowed to sleep for another 15 hours.
