Aarav was suffering from Orthosomnia—an unhealthy obsession with achieving "perfect" sleep data. Since Riya’s death, he had tried to "hack" his grief. He believed that if he could just optimize his biometrics—get his REM sleep to 25%, his Deep Sleep to 15%—he wouldn't feel the crushing hollowness in his chest. He treated his body like a machine that needed debugging. He took magnesium glycinate. He wore blue-light blocking glasses after 7 PM. He taped his mouth shut to force nasal breathing. He slept in a room chilled to exactly 18 degrees. He was the most optimized miserable person in Delhi.
