Insomnia: the prize fight where you lose if you don't get knocked out. I now expect some period of time where you replicate, roughly, the scene from the Core stories where visitors disturbing your sleep are threatened with summary disintegration (though I suppose IRL the closest analog would be perforation instead.) Hopefully it comes soon, I'm not sure if the creative process is helped by sleep-deprivation-induced vision quests.
