Cause he was an idiot, and too lazy to get up from his game to do anything.

Wouldn't you pass out? I mean, 15, that's insane, I'm not sure that's possible...

15 is not possible without sleeping, your body would definitly shutdown, i know that after 4-5 days you can sustain serious braindamage or physiological damage.
