Minor revelations.
I was today years old when I connected the rare and memorably sleepless nights I've had over the last few years with my having taken industrial-strength behind-the-counter 24-hour Sudafed before all of them. It didn't occur to me until this morning to see if "sleeplessness" was a side effect. Turns out, it is.
It's downright bizarre to have gotten about two hours' restless dozing at most and still operate at reasonable capacity and capability. I submitted some job applications, did a decent workout at the gym, wrote some fic - basically, a good day. I don't even feel that out of it. I feel present, definitely. I think if this was the intended, marketed effect, I could better understand why this drug is so heavily regulated, because it's a tremendously powerful thing.
Next time I need to make sure I have to be able to breathe, I'm taking it in the morning.
