This is not true for me or anybody in my friend group so I guess I don't know how accurate it is.

But we do all take vitamin D when the weather is depressing.

Yeah, I don’t know anyone who takes sleep aids every night. I take them when I want to knock myself out and have a day off the next day, but otherwise no one I know even seems to be aware of Zquil/etc

I went through a brief period in college when I was taking a full load and working 30 hours a week. I needed to carefully plan my sleep schedule. I was taking sleeping pills to go to sleep right away and caffeine pills to get going, with coffee/soda throughout the day. Was it healthy? Absolutely not.

On the plus side, I developed a new drink at the cafe I was working at, The Opener; for those 5am shifts.

  • walk by coffee pots, start all of the machines.
  • walk to espresso machine, pull an espresso shot into a regular coffee mug.
  • set down all of my 'stuff'
  • at this point espresso has finished
  • take espresso mug back to coffee makers. At this point they are hot and flowing. Replace coffee pot with my mug.
  • Once mug is topped off with coffee, replace coffee pot.
  • Sip drink while turning on the lights and computers

or anybody in my friend group

I think that's the problem. People think their friend groups are representative, but they're not.

Me: tried to disclaim the limited scope I'm speaking about

You: YOUR SCOPE IS LIMITED, MORON

If that's how you read my comment, you need to take some time and relax a bit.

If I had a friend that I knew was taking sleeping pills every night I would take them out to a lovely dinner and figure out if they are ok.
