May I ask a question if I may be so bold to ask?

What do you do when you can't fall asleep? Or find yourself wanting to stay awake.

[A small pause before sighing.]

It's nothing to do with nightmares or bad dreams! I promise.

[A small forced chuckle at her own words.]

Thank you for indulging in this one's question.

Coffee?

[maxwellsdaemon]

highly caffeinated drink. a stimulant that keeps you awake. careful though, the crash when it wears off can have you sleepin the day away

[song_princess]

So it both helps but also causes sleep? Not sure if it will help but thank you, my lord.

[maxwellsdaemon]

only when ya stop drinking it!

... mind if I ask why you're trying not to sleep? it's not good to keep yourself awake. it's a form of torture in many places.

[song_princess]

I guess that makes sense.

Ah, I just have had plenty of sleep back in my world. Is it? I can guess why but why would someone do that to another?

[maxwellsdaemon]

even if you've just woken from a coma, the body needs sleep. an because of that need, bad people use it to hurt others. in my experience? to get information from them.

[song_princess]

That is horrible... Why would they need to get information through such a cruel means?
