Selective Narcolepsy

   I hypothesize that over time humans will develop a habit/disorder/defence mechanism called selective narcolepsy. I imagine it will be something like being able to fall asleep on command, in a free will kind of way.
   When I am feeling some feelings, I like to fall asleep forever. Like right now, I just want to go to bed and fall asleep for roughly fourteen hours, but I know that if I actually went to bed, I would just lay awake thinking about feelings and food. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the desire to sleep forever is a shared dream of nine in ten Canadians. To the one in ten who doesn't feel that way: bully for you.
   I'm surprised something like selective narcolepsy doesn't already exist. I guess it does, and its called overdosing. But for those of us who can't afford pills (six in ten Canadians), we can only hope for selective narcolepsy. Or fill our time by pretending to read books of making Face-in-Holes until we quietly fall asleep in a puddle of pitiful mediocrity.
