The college football universe exists in a highly pressurized state. Coaches work famously long hours and get little to no sleep as a result. Naturally, Alabama’s Nick Saban has taken this kind of dedication to the next level, electing to sleep only one night a year.

That night is the one following National Signing Day. The Process demands it, and after a couple years his body got used to it. Remaining conscious for an entire year has addled his mind well past the point of return, but he doesn’t have time for that s---, so go find somebody who cares, Sally.

Due to advances in the world of dream-deciphering technology, we got a look at all the things Nick Saban dreamed about during his one precious night of sleep. Our findings were... well, just take a look.
