(Not) Energy Drink by Kyle Hamilton

INSTRUCTIONS: Design and produce a ________ drink. The only adjective that you may not insert in the blank is "energy."

Updates can be found at the bottom of the page

Design and produce a blank drink, there are a lot of different drinks I could make but seeing how I haven't slept in almost 48 hours for this task I will be making "The Kyle Hamilton Pharmaceutical Sleepy Time Pineapple Orange Flavored Drink"

Since this drink will have a heavy chemical component I will attempt to explain what I'm doing and adding to the best of my ability.

First as with all Kyle Hamilton Tasks my Materials List

One Centrum (thats Latinfor center!) Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement
One Citracal Calcium Citrate Supplement
75mg (3 pills) of Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
3mg (1 pill) of Eszopiclone (Prescription Lunesta)
3mg (1 pill) of Melatonin
8 oz of Dole Pineapple Orange Juice

First my logical progression Calcium (most notably Ca²⁺) is used by your nervous system to transmit information, if I take some calcium with some magnesium in theory it should help relax my muscles by calming my nervous system. Hence the vitamins and minerals will in turn act as a low grade muscle relaxer.

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an amazing antihistamines, it's related to Prozac in that its a mild SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) in short, long term use of Benadryl can make you slightly happyer. But the effect I'm looking for isn't in it's ability to make me feel good about myself I'm intrsted in it's anticholinergic property (aka I'm taking this stuff to knock me out, gee isn't medicine fun!). Now the regular reccomaned dose of Benadryl for use as a sleep aid is about 50mg, but I'm playing it safe the safe dose is 100mg so I settled for 75mg.

Ahh the Lunesta, I don't really know much about Lunesta, I am prescribed a 3mg dose of Lunesta by my doctor so I can sleep when I have episodes of insomnia.....much like right now. All I really know is that Lunesta works, and if I start sleep walking or something I need to stop taking it.

Melatonin, is basically the hormone that lets you fall asleep. Melatonin is chalk full of awesome sauce because it's the fundamental hormone that is going to allow me to fall asleep, since just about every living thing know to exist has some form of Melatonin in it the kind I got is made from plants.

Now on to the making of the drink

First I took all the pills and put them in a plastic bag

Then I smashed them real good

Added the Juice to the bag as to not loose any of the drugs

poured into a cup, and enjoyed.

Update March 15th 2008 5:00pm

Ok so I did wake up, I asked my family if anything had happened during my 12 hour knock out.

At around 9:00am my mother asked me if I wanted cinnamon rolls, she even opened the door and tried to talk to me but it was all in vain, I was dead asleep

At around 2:00pm my little sister tried to wake me up to show me a package I had received, once again I only vaguely remember being woken up and then going back to sleep.

I had a dreamless sleep last night, normally I have some sort of dream action even if I can't remember what the dream was I kind of remember waking up at night and thinking "Who what a strange dream". But last night there was nothing, the only thing of interest is that I woke up in the exact same position that I feel asleep in as a result my right side is REALLY sore and my right hand is still a bit tinkly

Waking up was kind of hard, my body didn't want to move at all, but since I had to pee really really bad I forced myself to get out and pee, on my return to bed I turned on my computer and ate an hours old cinnamon roll, the food was nice I was really really hungry which I found ironic seeing that I didn't do anything for 12 hours.

Update March 15th 2008 7:45pm

After I posted my last update I talked to my girlfriend, I'm going to a party, so I slept for another 2 hours. She wasn't happy that I messed with a bunch of drugs something about it possibly not being safe. After my 2 hour "nap" she picked me up and we went to the party, before I went I took a caffeine pill (200mg) so I was a little buzzed with caffeine and at the same time a little tired from the sleep. I thought that my drinking tonight would make me super duper sleepy but once I was there it was like any other Friday morning....only it was Saturday night

Update March 16th 2008 8:45am

I'm still awake, by my math this should now be my afternoon. Which basically means that I spent my "morning" drinking and partying and now in my afternoon I'm goofing off on SFZero. I should crash any hour now, just in time to miss the podcast and I should wake up just in time to see my girlfriend drag me off to church. I feel as if my entire Saturday was wasted because it feels like Saturday Afternoon...only it's Sunday Morning. This whole not being one bit tired thing is kind of odd to me I would have thought that I would be a little bit tired right now but I'm not I'm 100% ready to rock and roll. Also the coming down off my buzz thing was weird to me as well. I've always been asleep as my buzz/drunkenness falls off but in all honesty this is an eye opening experince for me 2am I'm buzzed and loving it, now at 8:00am I'm cold and want a shower.
