Experimental Post

I took my sleep meds an hour ago...they have about an hour time frame.
They make me really drowsy and i'm trying to type with as much coherence as I can muster. Most of the members of my blog crew enjoy beverages as alteration experience, I don't use my meds for that. I use them so I can actually sleep at night-
How am I doing? (I think I was just answered by the fact that it took me 6 tries to add the question mark to the how am i doing question.
This experimental post has failed.
I think I'd need some sort of control group of startingly sober peeps sharing a blog with me while my sleep medicine creeped into my brain and made my finger touch typing fall from about a 55-60 words per minute to about 15 words a minute, most of them mispelled and one or two I'm strangely convinced aren't code for a pre-planned super-alien invasion force.

Yes yes I should sleep now. or atleast if i make it to the next room where the bed is...

tschüß

Ha! I couldn't have been THAT out of it since I remembered teh German word for so long AND looked up how to spell it with the correct characters from my keyboard.

So there

ahem, that last 'so there' outburst probably lost me a couple of cool points huh?

Who needs sleep?

You're not seeming too sleepy in this post. Did you swap Shell's bc pills by mistake? Is she sleeping soundly? Makes ya wonder?

Are you having a Tough Guy Contest against your sleeping pill? At 1:00 in the morning? Man, I'd be popping that pill at 9:30, brushing & flossing, and then diving into bed, hoping to be unconscious in fifteen minutes! Then, eight hours later, I'd expect to feel refreshed and ready for my day, without a sleeping pill hangover.

But I do feel for you. Mr Z has horrible insomnia after years of too many time zone changes per month, and frankly, not a lot of self-discipline in the bed-time department while at home. Last night he was fighting sleep because of the Big Bad Dreams he'd slip into every time he dozed off. I missed it (again), out like a light at 10:15 after a lovely vodka nightcap. I'll be interested to hear if this pill works for you. My man needs serious help!

Ange- luckily Shell doesn't take those pills so I couldn't possibly have them confused...though sometimes I wonder whether she's slipping some Pez into my bill bottles...it IS almost April Fool's Day after all.

Zilla- I take Imovane and it does work. Though for the longest time it didn't really do the job and I think it was because they were giving me the dose they'd give anybody else and dude...I'm built like a rhino...it takes a bit more to put me to sleep. So they doubled my dose and *kaboom* I'm out and sleep through the night. I sympathize with Mr.Z I have had insomnia for 20 years and I have terrible nightmares which have a lot to do with the insomnia (and I'm seeing someone about them in a few weeks)
