Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, 'The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member.
His brother-in-law, a father of two children, called the sleepy man over Easter weekend desperately asking for a favor. The BIL's sister had been in a potentially fatal car accident and they would need to drive across the state and check in on her, and say their goodbyes, at the hospital over the weekend. Fearing traumatizing their children, they called up Sleepy and asked him if he and his wife could watch them over the weekend. They had never had any issues with babysitting the kids before, but out of the blue, Sleepy refused to help them out in their time of need.
He claimed that he needed to get his sleep cycle on track for working night shifts and watching a couple kids, his niece and nephew, over the weekend simply wasn't going to help him get the rest he needed. Excuse me?
Fuming, the BIL reminded him that he had said one that 'he would do anything for those kids', but apparently taking care of them for 48hrs when it was literally a life or d3ath situation, was not in that wheelhouse. Although Sleepy works in a steel mill, and his biggest excuse for saying no was because he was going to be working nights, we think that he could have risked a couple of days of sleep discomfort in his SIL and BIL's time of need. What do you think?
