It messes with them? But... how?

[She's still not super clear on all this medical stuff. Really, a lot of the effects of medicine in general went over her head; the most she understood was "if you see this symptom, this is a safe drug to give in this amount."]

[seventeenpills]

Oh, it's called a Side Effect. I take a lot of medications and while they help me, some of them also do things besides what I take them for. A few of them make it hard to sleep. That's all. There's really no safe way for me to get around it so I deal with it alright, and make sure to sleep well when I can.

[He smiled reassuringly - he didn't want her worrying over it, after all.]

[Hey Hisao, guess what Hibiki is doing right now!]

...And there's no other alternative?

[seventeenpills]

[...Aw Hibiki no. Don't do that, Hibiki. It will give you wrinkles.]

Unfortunately not. But hey! Like I said, it's a side effect of the medication that keeps me healthy otherwise so there's really not too much to complain about. If I can't sleep once in a while, that's still better than having heart problems. Just means I can read a few more books.

[saving_sound]

Ah... so you read lots of books then instead?

[Relaxing a little. That doesn't sound as bad.]

[seventeenpills]

Yeah. I try to read for maybe a half hour and then I turn off the lights and try to sleep. If it doesn't work, I turn them on and read for another half hour. Usually that works after a while.

[saving_sound]

And you never fall asleep with the light on, either?

[seventeenpills]

Not usually - I generally find it much easier to sleep when it's dark. I've dropped off to sleep with the lights on a few times but hardly ever, and I don't usually stay asleep for long if the light is on.

[saving_sound]

Oh... Usually when I read at night, I fall asleep with the light still on.

[Embarrassing!]

[seventeenpills]

Do you manage to sleep right through that way? Or do you wake up a little later like 'Wait, what? Oh no the light' and turn it off before going back to sleep?

[saving_sound]

I usually wake up... But part of it's because I'm at my desk, so I have to move to my bed instead.

[seventeenpills]

Oh! Well, that's pretty understandable, yeah. I'm usually laying down in bed reading if I drift off. It's relaxing that way.

[saving_sound]

It usually just happens to me when I'm trying to study... When it comes to normal sleep, I don't usually have any problems.

[With all the activity she gets up to during the day, she's out by 10PM at the very, very latest.]

[seventeenpills]

[That is an appropriate bed time for little children. XD]

Oh, I see. You work very hard a lot of the time, it's not surprising your body tries to make you rest a little more when it finds itself sitting down.

[saving_sound]

I thought I was getting enough rest already though... Maybe I should start going to sleep earlier?
