Hi,
I've decided to write a book of short stories. You've maybe seen some of them already posted here. Here's one I'm working on but I would much appreciate help with the main character. Help which I am sure a few of you would be expert at providing, should you feel so kind:
OK - lets suppose you live somewhere where modafinil is very expensive. You could afford it - barely, but you'd have to eat leaves & live in a cardboard box under a bridge - and you think that would taint the experience.
You can get it almost for free if you very appear narcoleptic though on an MSLT test. I mean, a MSLT with a mean sleep latency <= 8 mins and at least 2 (REM) periods. Not that easy to do when you're not narcoleptic.
So what should my character take to pull this off do you think? He has melatonin, zolpidem, clonazepam, alprazolam and even dextropropoxyphene by the bucket load. He also has a ton of mirtazapine which he's built up quite tolerance to. Hence it can't be relied upon to knock him out.
He suspects he'll have to provide some urine after the test, so he's planned on collecting some from the day beforehand which would be relatively untainted. He'll keep it nice & warm of course.
So what would you recommend my character take on the morning of the test to ensure the MSLT is less than 8 mins AND he dreams.....?
I know many of you have the secrets of the ancients, so please part with this knowledge for the sake of a possible literary masterpiece...!
Thanks ;)
M.
