\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Things have been pretty busy for me at work lately.\u00a0 I\u2019ve gotten some substantial sized projects that eat up the days and weeks pretty wholly, and I often times find myself with little to no downtime at work, and I\u2019m putting in overtime on a regular basis as the busy season solders on for my job.\u00a0 That being said, I\u2019m not resentful or anything, but the truth of the matter is that I\u2019m often times swamped, against a clock, and operating at a stress level that I\u2019d rather not be in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever such is the case, I sometimes grow irritable towards the existence of peers and co-workers, and whether it\u2019s their chatter, restless foot syndrome or their sheer inabilities to get over coughs, I feel the innate necessity to drown them out by whatever means necessary.\u00a0 Which is to say that I listen to a lot of Pandora when I get swamped, because I don\u2019t want to hear anything but my music while I plug away at my monumental assignments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately that also means that I\u2019m subject to the endless parade of ads that comes along for being a pleeb free Pandora listener, since I\u2019m streaming it through my phone because Big Brother has no problem with Facebook, YouTube or even Netflix, but restricts Pandora, and therefore cannot filter out the ads with AdBlock.\u00a0 And there\u2019s been one ad I\u2019ve heard no less than 50 gozillion times now that\u2019s caught my attention, not because I finally experienced what jetlag is really like, but the fact that it sounds like a recipe for being an FDA approved version of a date rape drug.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Called Sweet Dreams<\/em><\/a>, by a company named Instavit, is an oral spray that allegedly helps people fall asleep.\u00a0 Both the radio spot as well as the posted link claim that \u201ctwo sprays in the mouth\u201d and you will be out.\u00a0 It\u2019s marketed as a general sleep aid as well as a potential jet-lag beater for those who travel internationally or are sensitive to time changes.\u00a0 That\u2019s great and all, as I am no stranger to having used blue bombers or Tylenol PM to attempt to induce sleep in my past, but I can\u2019t help but feel that a sleep inducer in the form of a mist spray seems like there\u2019s way too much potential for nefarious intentions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deviants can claim it\u2019s a breath freshener spray or some form of liquid candy, and dupe unsuspecting partners into taking two or more sprays in the mouth.\u00a0 Whether or not they like the taste is irrelevant, when in 30 minutes or less they\u2019re suddenly exhausted and wanting to go to sleep, and then terrible things can happen to them once they\u2019re out.\u00a0 Or who knows how the shit behaves when diluted in other food or drink, and people are going around spraying peoples\u2019 food with sleepy time spray.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, if it\u2019s on the market like this, it can\u2019t be all completely evil and this probably says a lot more about how cynical I am than anything else, but I just can\u2019t help but feel that sleep inducers in any form are really that great of an idea.\u00a0 Bad people can just as easily spike food and drinks with Zzz-quil, Tylenol PM or liquefied blue bombers to similar effect, but there\u2019s something too convenient and easy about a tiny spray bottle that makes Sweet Dreams seem like a perfect tool for basically being Date Rape, Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
