Furry blankets. Great advances have been made in blanket technology in the past few years. Buy a couple synthetic microplush blankets that feel like rabbit fur and cocoon yourself in them. Always helps me. Even if that doesn’t work for you, have hope! There is the hope that blankets may be even softer in the future.

Also, have you tried mushrooms?

Saw headline and spent next couple seconds replaying SG-1 in my head.

Wow, I did not know that. Thanks a bunch.

Same. I inform doctors that I am resistant to sedation. They nod, not believing me. I go under. I wake up 4 hours early, everyone goes insane. One time they failed to put me out right away. Fortunately they managed to put me out before they cut into me. My last memories before waking are hearing “oh shit, he’s awake”. Another time they used “an adult dose and a child dose” which… doesn’t sound right. But I remember waking with a half dozen people trying to rouse me.
