Gee. I don't think I'll try this insomnia tablet.

So does anyone else feel fucking terrified of "having sex" while being completely blacked out?

Making phone calls would be even more of a nightmare I reckon. More possible consequences and a pretty long tail of them.

Haven't had sex, but I've completely organically had entire conversations while blacked out

I've never had blackout sex but I have tried to do deep fry dim sims whilst pretty much blacked out.

Not doing that again.

Sounds familiar. But have you tried sleep driving?

I mean how the fuck did this medicine pass testing?!?!

I got home after a graveyard shift one time many years ago and had a minor existential crisis because I truly didn't remember the drive home. I read a couple of years ago that this phenomenon has a name: Highway Hypnosis. In theory, I shouldn't have been fatigued that day, but that's also a plausible explanation.

It took me a while to stop driving to an ex's place. I'd find myself halfway there. I was driving safely, but my directions were by habit not intention.

Is it Ambien? Boyo has some terrifying and hilarious tales from taking that.

For like quite a while now I only have sex when I'm asleep
