Sleeping Pills And You

[roninjedi]

Many of you know that I live my life in a constant state of low-level sleep deprivation. The middle of the night is the only time that I truly feel is my own, when no one will make any demands of me, so I try to make it last as long as possible. The result is I often get 4 to 6 hours of sleep per night when I need a minimum of 7 to be properly

Good to know. Now I know how to make Shawn act like a complete fool! :)

I mean...I will be ever so certain as to make absolutely sure that my husband never does such a foolish thing as that despite the assurance of complete hilarity to follow.

OH! So you were there, I see.

thank goodness you had a trip-minder.

*hugs*

don't do that again, m'kay? We like your brain un-jello-fied.

Ambien??

You do remember from a couple years ago, how it was discovered that a significant number of Ambien users reported strange activity while asleep, including sleep-eating- that is, while asleep or in fugue state getting up, going to the kitchen, eating, going back to bed, and remembering none of it thereafter?

I wouldn't take a SINGLE dose. Hell, I don't even like how Contac and Nyquil fuck me up- no way I'm taking Ambien or any of its cousins.

THIS.

If I need to sleep, I take 2 Benadryl. I'm not quite happy the next morning, but I know that Benadryl isn't going to cause me to sleep-open-the-door-to-a-rapist. (That was in the news a year or two ago....)

I am suitably afraid of the Ambien.

In related news, I can't stop giggling.

Duly noted. @.@

I'm glad you're okay, though, man. ^^
