[ The video feed comes on early, just after the morning greeting. Aidan is definitely looking worse for wear, perpetually stifling a yawn and doing what he can to drown himself in the first pot of coffee of the day. It's been a few rough nights since Euphie moved in and not for the reasons one may suspect. ~~Or maybe exactly for the reasons one may suspect~~. ]

So, uhm... [ Clearing his throat. ] Anyone got any advice for stayin' awake when coffee don't cut it no more? I've tried cold showers, but uhm... I got a feelin' I'll give m'self a cold if I keep that up.

Anythin' would be helpful. Please.

	[ coffee? really? but there's a concerned doctor on the line here, frowning just slightly. ] Generally, that's when I allow sleep to run its course. I've found I sleep easier when I'm exhausted. [ maybe. sort of. if you squint. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ What, coffee is great! It's practically making up 90% of his bloodstream right now! ] Sure, but... I mean, that ain't always an option. I still got things I need to do durin' th' day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ ohgod don't tell her that. ] It is an option if your body is exhausted and unable to continue. [ says the woman who often falls asleep on her work when she's gone too long without sleep because she's trying to avoid addressing or thinking about something. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Normally, people ask about remedies for insomnia, not ways to keep themselves awake. [ this would be the concerned counselor looking in on her fellow captive. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ Whoa, new person going straight to private? Is he that seethrough? ] Ain't gonna get all that much done if I sleep, ma'am. [ And he has been keeping busy lately. Busier than usual. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ more that she's a counselor and she doesn't want to say anything too personal on an open communication. ] Perhaps not, but allowing yourself to sleep when you need to is also a good idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Convince yourself that you'll die if you fall asleep. Convince yourself that your worst nightmares are waiting for you. [He perks up a little.] Or you could drink lots of water and stop to exercise every hour or so. Don't eat anything heavy. Keep your mind and body busy. (Reply to this) (Thread)
