3:28am... I could stand it no longer. I reached across my alarm clock's cool blue display, for my telephone.
The dispatcher told me it would be 15 minutes, if I'd like to make myself a glass of warm milk and watch a little TV.
13 minutes later a man who looked suspiciously like Vin Diesel knocked
on my door and came in. He sprayed my arm with something in a spray can, catching me on the way to the floor.
7:20am... It's worn off, whatever it was. I feel energised and aware. My house is tidy, there are fresh flowers in a vase in the dining room and my lawn appears to have been mown. zZz is worth every cent.

At least sleeplessness is useful for something. [UnaBubba, Oct 06 2006]

This kind of reminds me of the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" - I can imagine Vin signalling to his girlfriend that the coast is clear before darting in and looking for the drinks cabinet...[+] anyway for a novel alternative to insomnia. |

It's actually 01:10, but no, I was posting another idea, about immortal insects and arachnids. <later> Make that 02:00hrs. I'm having trouble with a warm night and a few cups of coffee with last night's birthday dinner for my son. |

We can arrange a reasonable facsimile of whichever "celebrity" takes your fancy, [z_t]. |

//zZz is worth every cent.// |

So UnaBubba... what kind of service fees are we looking at here? |
|
| |
I just told you: It's worth every cent. |
|
| |
You want to put a price on being able to sleep at night? |
|
| |
I have trouble sleeping sometimes too, but I turn to less extreme solutions like melatonin which works just fine (apart fromt he fact that it often gives you mentalist dreams) However [+] still, as I like the idea. |
|
| |
I got to sleep at about 3:40. Then I woke up at 5:45. I hate that. |
|
| |
UnaBubba, I'm not saying it's not worth a high price. A Ferrari or a Porsche is worth every penny. But if this is something, like a Porsche, that only the wealthy can afford, then I'm not supporting it because then, as I lay awake all night long, I'll be thinking how much better everyone else (who has money) is sleeping. This kind of thing will have passive-aggressive insomniacs going postal all over the country. |
|
| |
That depends upon what they do to the civilians there, I would suggest. |
|
| |
Bun, big, glazed, butter drenched bun, with fresh fruit and the beverage of your choice. |
|

-I'd like to know what pharmaceutical product they’ll be using, however. As a long-term insomniac (My record is 4 nights in a row totally sleep free) I’ve found that chemically assisted sleep is almost not worth it. I wake up feeling poo, un-rested, and then there’s the whole dependency thing. |
|
| |
I'm no pharmacist, but the only thing I've found that really works is 1 or 1.5mg of Alprazolam (Kalma). |
|
| |
That stuff knocks me out for about 4 hours and I wake up feeling much, much better. You have to be careful of addiction, though. |
|
| |
I sometimes make up a dream seed. After stretching & popping, etc, I imagine myself in a highly improbable situation and start to think of what fun I could have in that situation. |
|
| |
sorry UB but I seriously can't get further than the idea of Rohypnol... |
|
| |
Someone used Roofies on you? |
|
| |
I see a lot of claims of people having drinks spiked. Seems a convenient excuse for getting shitfaced and not wanting to accept responsibility for your actions. |
|
| |
Try Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) |
|
| |
(I mean try it for this "product" not actually btw, unless you want too ;-) I have never tried it so I could not comment on that.) |
|
| |
To get to sleep? There are some dangers associated with GHB that I think I'd rather avoid. Not least of them is a stint in the big house if you are caught using it. |
|
| |
/Zimmy/ tell me more about dream seeds? |
