I think the idea behind crucifixion was to make it impossible for the victim to sleep. As long as they were awake they could support their weight on their feet but as soon as they fell asleep all of their weight went on to their arms and caused intense pain. 

3 days and nights is about as long as a person can stay awake. After 40 days a person would starve to death

He doesn't require sleep because He has no flesh that needs it. Neither does our spirit sleep. Peace

Your soul does indeed sleep. It's precisely because you have a soul (ego) that you must sleep

...the implication being he'd require sleep IF he had an ego?

God's soul.

Leviticus 26:11 'Moreover, I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul [nephesh] will not reject you.

Isaiah 42:1 "Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul [nephesh] delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations.

Matthew 12:18 “Behold, My servant whom I have chosen, My beloved with whom My soul [psuché] is well pleased. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

Hebrews 10:38 but My righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, My soul [psuché] has no pleasure in him.”

The soul and the spirit are not the same thing. And I'll ask you a question I posed elsewhere. WHO told you we have an ego? Peace

Are you at war with yourself, or at peace?
