from APG1 page 83:

CHANGE ENVIRONMENT: STUNNING

At the GM’s option, characters can also use Change Environment against a single target to create an attack that Stuns the target without reducing his STUN. This combat effect costs 30 Character Points.

When used, this form of Change Environment Stuns the target, subjecting him to all the effects described on 6E2 104 (except for the loss of STUN; his STUN total isn’t reduced). The Stunned effect lasts as long as the Change Environment is maintained. However, when affected the victim gets to make a CON Roll immediately, and if the roll succeeds the attack has no effect on him. If the roll fails, he gets to make an additional CON Roll every Phase he’s affected at a cumulative +1 (so +1 on his second roll, +2 on his third, and so on). As soon as any roll succeeds, the power immediately stops affecting him and he has his full Phase in which to act. To affect him further, the character using the Change Environment has to use an Attack Action and successfully attack him again.

To counteract the CON Roll, a character buying Change Environment (Stun) can include penalties to CON Rolls as an additional combat modifier.

I am not sure Full End & Stun is meaningful.

 

I would suggest describing to yourself in non game lingo how it works.  Is it a stick that magically knocks people out and not having to sleep is a defence,  Fine then maybe other defenses are just woke up within the hour.  The prior recent trip to the sandman's domain thwarts the magic.

 

If instead it is knowing how to hit someone in the right place ala a Vulcan Neck pinch and those not requiring sleep have different brains/anatomy etc. then a good one might be wearing jackets with hoods around the necks or turtle neck sweaters and thus the intellectual college graduate student and children whose mothers made them dress warm in the snow would be immune to your power.

 

Ok the last is tongue in cheek but you get ny point right?
