yes, that is really the time, and I have not been asleep since darkness fell. hey, how long can you

Dear Nyquil, I hate you. (Could be the cough drops, I guess, but I find it unlikely that a person could get hopped up on mentho-lyptus. Therefore I blame the pseudoephedrine.) I have a test tomorrow evening, you bitch. Finals are next week. This is not the time to be screwing with my sleep cycle -- which is why I took you to begin with. Also, you have done sod-all for my headache, very sore throat, and congestion. Did I get a batch of pills that were meant as speed? The pill format does mean I wouldn't have tasted off flavors in the liquid of green death, not that I think I could manage to taste much beyond BLEAH.

In short, Nyquil, you're crap. Please either start working so I can go to sleep or stop "working" so I can go to sleep.

Nyquil, you starvelling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's-tongue, you bull's-pizzle, you stock-fish -- O for breath to utter what is like thee! -- you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bow-case, you vile standing tuck! You suck.

also,

Thank you. That's very satisfying.

Is pseudoephedrine supposed to be a sleeping drug? I always thought it was a stimulant.

I've never actually taken it, though - it's in the list of things I'm supposed to avoid for some reason (I can't remember now what interacts with it), so I could be completely off-base...

bleh

Yes, it's a stimulant. I think they couldn't find a decongestant that wasn't one, though, so it's in Nyquil anyway. They also put in an antihistamine, which I think is mainly for the sleeping effect, as colds don't encompass histamine reactions that I know of. Sadly, it had no noticeable effect that night, even though Nyquil has worked for me before.

Almost nine hours of sleep last night. woo hoo.
