Hey...[Houston definitely sounds a little on the tired side.]

Hate it when I can't sleep. That ever happen to anyone out there? Just not being able to fall asleep? How do you deal with it if you do? Other than those sleeping pills anyway.

[Oh hey it's the king of insomniacs. He's not the best person to be giving advice, though...]

Try expending some energy.

voice;

[a_relative_hero]

Expend energy?...any way in particular you'd suggest?

voice;

[mansansfear]

There's probably someone in this town who could use a helping hand right now.

voice;

[a_relative_hero]

Y-yeah...[Now he sounds guilty as well as tired] You're probably right about that.

voice;

[mightymortal]

Well... sometimes. But I usually just go out and, um, fight crime until it wears off.

voice;

[a_relative_hero]

Sounds like it's the most suggested plan so far. Guess I'll zip out and see if any bad guys need punching or people need saving.

voice;

[mightymortal]

Well, it's probably safer if you have someone with you, watching your back and stuff, if you're sleep deprived...

voice;

[a_relative_hero]

Oh! Yeah...I guess you're right about that. Umm...[Long pause.]

Are...uhh...you free to do some crime fighting?

Every night.

I don't tend to sleep terribly often, but the one way I've known to be certain to prevent me from staying awake is to thoroughly exhaust myself during the day.

[Joel looks concerned]
You don't sleep often? Isn't that unhealthy?
Gonna see if fighting some crime with Captain Marvel wears me out.

[bluepurrymuffin]

Well, I don't actually require as much sleep anymore, so I wouldn't say so.

But even then, there's simply too much to do for me to let sleep take so many hours out of my day!

[a_relative_hero]

[He smiles.] A powers thing then? That's pretty cool.

[Joel chuckles.] My dad used to say the same thing.

Max always says to count sheep. That never seems to work, though. [ Because Bart ends up counting fire-breathing robo-sheep who are destroying cities. ]

video!

[a_relative_hero]

Yeah, that's never worked for me either

video!

[outspeeds]

I don't even know what sheep have to do with sleeping at all.

video!

[a_relative_hero]

I think counting all the sheep is supposed to bore you to sleep. Like relax your mind or something. I'm not sure.

[karkdestiny]

Sometimes you need something a little harder than 'sleeping pills'.

[Voice]

[a_relative_hero]

Like what?

[Voice] PSA; Cade is a terrible role model

[karkdestiny]

Dunno what you have here, but back home, I used deathsticks.

[THIS PLACE IS HAVING A POSITIVE EFFECT ON HIS HEALTH WITH THE LACK THEREOF]

[Voice]

[a_relative_hero]

[Joel's silent for a few moments.]

...why would anyone use anything called deathsticks?

Unless they're some supervillain's weapons it makes no sense.
