Guillermo Sohnlein said the group may have extended their life support supplies by "relaxing as much as possible."

Ah yes, the sweet relaxation of slow death. Not that they would have had much time to relax anyway, if the debris field is the remains of their vessel.

I was thinking that it would be best to sleep as much as possible.

@NPR had an article the other day about a submarine rescue in those sorts of circumstances: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/20/1183249112/missing-titanic-submarine-rescue-pisces-iii

It was a small (phone booth-ish?) two-man sub stranded for three days back in 1973. The two men conserved oxygen by not speaking or moving and were successfully recovered.
