Adenosine is a waste product of neurons and it is a potent nervous system depressant which is why if we don’t sleep for a long time we hallucinate, start to feel cold, and feel tired. We feel like we’re drugged because we kind of are. It also increases sleep pressure. Unlike other areas of the body the brain has no way of flushing out the adenosine unless we sleep which activates the glymphatic system. if we don’t sleep the adenosine keeps accumulating and it can kill us in a similar way an od of sleeping pills can.
Touching tourself continuously for height hours before sleeping help too
I had to type that alt text thrice because I was using my client’s “generate image markdown” GUI and had problems. The first time I got it perfect, but put it in the URL field and didn’t notice until I’d closed the browser tab (I’m on mobile and browse exclusively in focus mode, so the usual easy recovery wasn’t an option).
Then I tried again and got it right, but I’m still adjusting to FUTO keyboard and it just randomly closed the dialogue. If that was my fault, I have no idea what I did to inspire the action.
Finally I (think I) got it right on the third try, but the story of the odyssey amuses me more than the original meme itself.
Some much adventure for a joke
