 This message is from the SCP Foundation, an international organization dedicated to your safety, and security against paranormal, parascientific, and paratemporal threats. The Foundation has been a secret organization for over 100 years, but an emerging global threat has compelled the Foundation to make this public announcement. This alert has been confirmed as genuine by your national government and members of the international community, such as the United Nations. Do not fall asleep. Under no circumstances fall asleep within the next 48-hour period. The Foundation is working with local authorities worldwide to provide caffeine and other stimulants. Young children and the elderly will require special attention to ensure they do not sleep during this period. Please take them to a medical professional immediately. If you sleep for more than approximately 5 minutes within the next 48 hours, your consciousness will become permanently separated from your body. If this happens you will be subject to a permanent state of nightmare which will not cease even with the death of your physical body. The SCP Foundation is working with its allies across the world to devise a solution to this situation as quickly as possible, and protect civilians around the world. When a solution to the situation has been devised, and it is safe to fall asleep again, the SCP Foundation will create another public announcement. Until that time, do not fall asleep. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Secure. Contain. Protect.
