Stilnoct kan være morsomme, men du risikerer å bli såpass på trynet at det kan være en fordel med barnevakt - og du husker som regel lite og ingenting dagen derpå... SSRI skal visst øke sjansene for hallusinasjoner betraktelig.
Ellers kan kanskje dette sitatet fra general og senere utenriksminister Colin Powell forklare endel:
Powell described his killer schedule in an interview Thursday with Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed, a reporter for a London-based Saudi newspaper.
"So do you use sleeping tablets to organize yourself?" Al-Rashed asked.
"Yes. Well, I wouldn't call them that," Powell said. "They're a wonderful medication -- not medication. How would you call it? They're called Ambien, which is very good. You don't use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien."
