Sleep Addiction
A friend and me having fun at 5:00 am: only at MIT…
Me: Sleep is optional.
Friend: Yes, but it’s good to indulge yourself in small amounts - like with wine.
Me: True, you just have to be careful not to get addicted.
Friend: Yeah, I know someone who started sleeping every night and can’t seem to stop.
Me: Wow, that’s sad. Has she tried one of those 12-step programs?
Friend: I’ve tried to get her to go, but she says she doesn’t have a problem. I mean, I guess we’re still friends, but I can’t really respect her anymore, you know?
Me: Yeah…well, hopefully she’ll be able to find some help eventually.
