Experimenting with Drugs: How Alternating Doses of Energy Drink and Melatonin Have Kept Me Alive Another Two Days

One big upside to having a widescreen laptop is that you can do ridiculously long blog post titles without getting to the end of the input form. Just FYI.

The last couple days I’ve been dosing myself with Energy Drink in the morning (8 oz./morning, Rockstar Juice variety) and then loading up with melatonin to get myself to sleep at night. Two days in and I’m not yet seeing the downside — although, if memory serves, I should probably be watching out for the inevitable onset of Red Bull breath. I’ve been wide awake the last couple of days (seriously — *me*, *awake*!) and slept fine enough at night — although I’m still not sure if the dream-appearance of my shadow aspect should be considered a positive or a negative. Meh. If it’s feeling under-served, it’s gotta be positive that it got its licks in, right?

Gonna try some different brands for the next couple of days. Loaded up with Full Throttle, VitaminWater Energy, and some other brand I forget. I can’t tell if the stuff tastes as off as it seems to — it’s not Tahitian Noni bad, but it’s in that direction — or if I just shouldn’t drink it right after brushing my teeth.

Excelsior.

(And if I die tomorrow of respiratory failure, I hearby bequeath my military stuff to my newphews and my work shirts to the DLF. Heck, if I die any time in the next *seven* days, that probably still holds.)
