Poe's stats still hadn't improved, so he was still "asleep." (unconscious).

Spasticity is a symptom and characteristic of certain neurological conditions. It causes certain muscles to contract all at once. It ranges in severity and can affect movement and speech. There are several treatment options for spasticity, including physical therapy, medication and botulinum toxin injections.
Spasticity is a disruption in muscle movement patterns that causes certain muscles to contract all at once when you try to move or even at rest. The muscles remain contracted and resist being stretched. It interferes with movement and can also affect your speech and gait (walk).
Spasticity can vary greatly in how it affects someone — it may be as mild as the feeling of tightness of your muscles or may be so severe that it causes painful, uncontrollable stiffness and spasms of your extremities.
Spasticity can involve the following:
Increased muscle tone (hypertonia).
Muscle spasms (quick and/or sustained involuntary muscle contractions).
Clonus (series of fast involuntary muscle contractions that may feel like a tremor, most often experienced in your ankles).
Involuntary crossing of your legs.
Pain or discomfort.
Abnormal posture.
Contracture (permanent contraction of the muscle and tendon due to severe lasting stiffness and spasms).
Muscle, joint and/or bone deformities.
Difficulty performing daily activities, and difficulty for others to help with activities such as dressing and bathing.
Sleep disruption due to, for example, painful spasms or muscle tightness.
Muscle movements are normally controlled by a complex system that allows some of your muscles to contract (tighten) while others relax. Damage to nerves in your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) can disrupt this pattern. As a result, many muscles may contract all at once (sometimes called co-contraction), which makes it difficult to perform voluntary movement.
