Just Wondering Again!

[cameliaheartfelt]

If a sleeping tablet gives you up to 7 hours sleep, if you were to take 8 of them would you sleep for 56 hours?

[smurfchops]

What a stupid question. You would probably die.

[andres]

You'd probably sleep for ever!

[cameliaheartfelt]

its not a silly question smurf, i was 'wondering' if that was one of the answers and what it would do! but the question still remains above too, would you sleep for 56 hours then die maybe? chill! its only a random thought that we all sometimes have about things in observational situations

[daisya]

erm....random? Be sure it is....why ask it, are you planning summat?

[AlwaysConfused]

If you make it through the night, you'd then suffer from various side effects, including nausea, drowsiness, constipation, delirium, tremors and seizures.

Sorry didn't mean to be rude, it just seemed a silly question! I think that amount of medication in your body would somehow make it just shut down completely, I wonder what is in the medication to make you sleep for 7 hours anyway? Now there's another question....

[tonyav]

Over doses are never good.

[wildwood]

Chemicals don't work that way camelia.

As an example, our bodies need minute amounts of arsenic. If you multiply that dose many time.... you know what will happen.

If you feel great after a large glass of wine, will you feel 8 times as great after 8 large glasses of wine?

[MadMen]

I don't think it's a stupid question. This is the kind of random thing I think of - and it rarely has any sinister reason behind it.

As above, no, it doesn't work like that. If by some miracle you survived, you would be very very (VERY!) ill.

[joko]

it is kind of silly, but at the same time there's a kind of weird logic to it... so i 'get' the thought processes that got you to it.

however, that you got to that point, and actually had to ask on here for the answer, that you actually need confirmation, is the silly part.

it is the sort of conclusion that a child, who knows no better, might come to

however as has been said, meds don't work that way.

(for all we know camelia might be 12 or something)

[MadMen]

Lol Joko. Or... she might be like me and press submit before she actually thinks! :D

[ToraToraTora]

You would sleep for a lot more than 56 hours!

[Old_Geezer]

The active ingredients tend not to wait their turn to affect you.

[society]

You are doing too much wondering.

[sara3]

I might try a whole pack of diet pills, and see if I can get into my daughter's size 6 clothes :o)

You would be unconscious, choke on your tongue and die if alone. If you were rushed to A&E you would get a pipe down your gullet to flush pills from your stomach and another pipe up your ass to empty your bowels.
