Default Re: sleep+150 v unconciousness+200

I have always assumed that an Unconsciousness affliction doesn't use the rules for recovering after collapsing at negative HP, but rather lasts for the stated minutes equal to margin of failure, modified by Extended Duration (the rules on p.423 are specifically for injury-derived unconsciousness, and, anyway, most of the exotic or supernatural abilities that Affliction will be modeling should be capable of keeping an uninjured man unconscious for more than fifteen minutes). Similarly, I have always treated Sleep afflictions as lasting the given duration (or until awakened- probably easy enough to do with a ready action if you don't worry about the subject minding being shaken awake-, hence the 50% discount compared to unconsciousness) without regard to normal sleep cycle.
