So apparently, even SLEEP is now deadly.
A man died playing Wii Fit (ironic, right?), and they decided it may have been SADS. Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. Well of course, the article-besides the irony joke-didn’t interest me too much, however SADS caught my eye and so I went and did some research. Apparently, sleep is deadly. In accordance to SUNDS-Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome-you can now die in your sleep for NO FUCKING REASON. It was first reported in 1977 and has since been reported quite a bit, and the victims are generally young healthy fit males. Fuck me. So let me get this straight, I can’t even go to SLEEP now?! I’m an insomniac, so now the options are, “Shit, I can either stay up forever and die from lack of sleep or go to sleep and die randomly.” THAT’S FAIR.
So Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome is now the biggest fear. I never thought it would come to the day where even SLEEP was deadly. That’s just SCARY. One of the things I found was that it was based around folklore about a spirit that takes the form of a jealous woman and kills the men in their sleep. Apparently, men even sometimes dress as women to prevent it from killing them. How fucking awkward would that be? To die while dressed like a woman? What does the headline say?
“Victim of SUNDS found dressed as grandmother.”
Like, it’s not bad enough that you’re DEAD, but to have the fact that you died dressed as a WOMAN must just add to the embarrassment factor. Ok, so he died from an unexplainable disease AND was dressed like his mother, this guy has some SERIOUS problems. See, being an infant and having SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is believable, they could turn over and suffocate or something, but to be an adult and die just because you’re older is fucked up. So now I guess even being HEALTHY won’t save you.
Alright, so I don’t know about you guys, but from now on I’M going to bed having eaten nothing but broccoli and dressed like my sister.
