If Sheridan was supposed to be "dead," which explains why he wasn't hungry or thirsty, why did he apparently still need to sleep? (At the beginning of season 4, episode 2.)

It's been a while since I've seen this episode BUT he wasn't dead. He was hovering between life & death.

Yes, although Lorien said he was dead. But the point I'm wondering about now is that, while Sheridan went 9 days (Z'ha'dum days anyway, according to Lorien), and wasn't hungry or thirsty, why did he apparently still need to sleep? It seems inconsistent.
I suppose maybe Lorien kinda put him to sleep, to more easily access his thoughts, but doesn't seem like Lorien would have required that either.

Science fiction is a bit like that, at least to me.

Sure there can be a lot of sloppy writing in sci-fi, as with any other genre. But sci-fi doesn't REQUIRE sloppy writing.

I like a lot of sci-fi but I also hate some of it. But I have found, at least in my experience, that if I do not overthink it, I enjoy it more.
But, I have a bad habit of picking at almost everything I watch.

It's harder to overlook some things than others.

For example, it's easier to overlook that the "gravity" at C&C should be significantly less than in "lower" areas... plus they might experience significant Coriolis Effect there... and sometimes when they looked out from C&C it was like the station wasn't turning... and sometimes they saw things they simply couldn't have seen, such as when the fighter bay blows out in "Survivors," Sinclair looks out from C&C and sees a worker in a spacesuit "flying" away from the station. There's no way that could be seen from C&C.
