Granted, but the duration doubles each time

You also fall asleep randomly.

Granted. You now can fall asleep whenever you want ... and also whenever anyone else wants you to.

Granted! You are falsely accused of a crime and thrown into a CIA dark site prison cell, hitting your head. This gives you the power to sleep whenever you want, but, of course, the CIA will never let you leave and will torture you on a regular basis

Granted. You’ve just been drafted for the first settlement on Mars. The trip will take 8 months, all but 3 days of which will be spent in cryo-sleep to conserve resources such as food and water.
