-According to the [[guidebook]], divine intervention was certainly sufficient to influence sleep of the chosen hero ("Strange dreams... haunted you in your sleep"). Therefore, it can be extrapolated that whilst in the dungeon (or [[Gehennom]]), magical or divine influence allowed the hero to not require regular sleep. This explains why no occurrences of mandatory sleep occur through the game.

This explains why no occurrences of mandatory sleep occur throughout the game.
 Assuming, then, that the hero hacks continuously, and that hacking is hard work, the hero's caloric consumption can be calculated. Averaging the energy spent during combat and the energy spent leisurely exploring, the estimated caloric consumption is likely equivalent to that of a brisk walk for a human of 80 kg, or around '''400 Cal/hour'''. (Note that the capital letter is significant here; 1 Calorie ('''1 Cal''') is equal to 1000 calories ('''1000 cal''') or 1 kilocalorie ('''1 kcal''').<ref>[[wikipedia:Calorie]]</ref>)
