I did hear about some odd sleeping pill, not sure if it existed or if it was just a concept someone thought about...

The pill was a normal sleeping pill, but with a core of cafffine, it would be designed so that it would take X hours to dissolve and once it got to the core, the caffine would wake you up on time.

The more I think about it, the less I believe it would ever work.

I like the idea to counteract the grogginess of the sleeping tablet, but I lack the knowledge to know if that would work.

I'm guessing it would have been digested by then, right?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, the point of it was that it would only keep you sleeping for X time and then wake you up.

I do this the manual way. Set alarm half-an-hour early for coffee, drink it and go back to sleep. Wake up moderately more awake 45 minutes later. Doesnt always work. 4/10
