Maybe Ruffles should start sponsoring D.A.R.E.

It is getting difficult to resist the urge to continue working on my Pokemon hack. And yet I know if I go back to it today I won't be able to stop formatting sprites until I have none left, at which point I'll get anxious and fidget awkwardly until I have more. And when I go to bed I'll be seeing the GIMP and IrfanView interfaces behind my eyelids again, because my obsessions just LOVE to ruin my life.

I fear Spearbreakers may encounter sincere personality clashes in the near future. This makes me very sad.

I may have to swear off caffeine.

Now that I'm off all medicine ever, including sleeping medicine, there's nothing to counteract it. A single Dr. Pepper can and will keep me up until 5:30 in the morning. Coffee can easily give me 48 hours without sleep. This is definitely an unexpected side effect of being medicine-free.

Thing that made me sad (though it's a happy sadness) is that I finished a good story today. Sequels tend to curb the feeling, so I revel the feelings of these true endings. It's made all the better when it's a happy ending, isn't it?

All medicine ever? That sounds... Like a interesting decision.

It is a slight exaggeration, but only slight. I have been on an insane amount of prescription drugs throughout my life. Hopefully I won't have to be "permanently" on any again.

Does not being on drugs mean you'll no longer HAMJAM!?

No, you must defeat sleep entirely. it is weak and injured right now. Now is your chance.


Incidentally, I've never found coffee to actually have much of an effect on my sleep.

[Hanslanda]

Wierd. When I drink coffee, I get wired like I just [HARD_DRUGS_REFERENCE_REDACTED]

I can perfectly easily have two cups of coffee and go right to sleep.

[Hanslanda]

Supposedly, if you go to sleep immediately after drinking coffee and take a short nap, then the coffee does its job better. Coffee blocks the effect of adenosine, which makes you tired. So coffee makes you feel not tired, even though you are. If you drink it, then take a nap, you both lower the actual amounts of adenosine and block any remaining adenosine's effect.

[Rose]

Huh. I generally feel just as tired after coffee as before. maybe I need to drink more of it.

Your chemical receptors may be slightly different than the average. Or something like that. *Insert biologybabble*
