SomethingQuil

Yesterday I started feeling sick: exhausted, uncomfortable and grumpy. Knowing that not taking a break would make me feel sicker, I took the evening easy and mostly rested. Unfortunately, in the middle of the night I woke up and could not fall back asleep. Eventually (around 2am) I decided to take something to make me groggy and get rid of the headache I had. I sleepily stumbled to the bathroom and grabbed a NyQuil to sooth me back to sleep.

Only problem: I took the yellow pill instead of the blue one. Yeah, DayQuil.

I realized the mistake almost immediately and ran back to bed. I figured if I could fall back asleep quickly the stimulants might not wake me when they kicked in. My plan almost worked. I managed to fall asleep for a good hour, but after that I was alert and awake (even if I did feel much less sick).

Let me assure you, that will be the last time in a long time that I confuse those two.
