Beauty Sleep

Sleeping pill use among 10-19 year-olds has increase 85% in the past 4 years. What the hell. They had better have been trying to kill themselves. That is the only excuse I can come up with. I remember barely being able to stay awake in high school, let alone needing pills to fall asleep. In undergrad, I was so sleep deprived I once passed out, standing up, naked, in a cold shower!! I dosed off for 20 minutes before I woke-up. It was only 6:20 a.m. and was already late for my first appointment. I use to pull leg hair out in the middle of lectures to keep from falling asleep. Currently, I am supporting a 5 can-a-day Diet Pepsi habit just to stay functional. If you are between 10-19 and need sleeping pills, you need to die.
