Nyquil Doesn't Cure Colds; It Just Lets You Sleep Through Them

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Work on writing up Trip Reports, Part 2 of the Winemaking Process, and Scatterstone has been slightly hampered by my ferocious battle with a snuffly cold.

And yes, it sounds better to say "I'm going to go continue this ferocious battle with a cold" than "I'm going to take some Nyquil and then sleep for 15 hours," but it amounts to the same thing.

Plus, gotta be over this cold for going to the midnight showing of The Hobbit in a coupla days. I had to call in sick to Rifftrax; I'll be DAMNED if I call in sick to this.

Anyway. I'm going to go continue this ferocious battle with a cold. Don't wait up.

The way I see it, taking Nyquil and piling blankets on to sleep through a cold frees up the energy your body was using to keep you warm and to keep you conscious to go towards fighting that cold off. So FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT. Er, sleep with all your might. Or something.

Exactly! Our troops can't be divided between battling germs AND staying awake, dammit! PICK A SIDE, WE'RE AT WAR.
