How about a large bottle of scotch?…..

Cosmo, try sleeping at night.

Not true, you have very good naps at your desk!

We have some toxins that will leave you half-dead?

No, no, coma is good …

He’s not asking for much…

a heart attack

Drunk.

My doctor told me that a blindfold might help me sleep, but I don’t know.

I can’t see myself wearing it.

If a child refuses to sleep during nap time,

are they guilty of resisting a rest?

Sleep experts reckon that in order to stay optimally healthy, you need “6-8 hours a day”.

That’s me buggered then, my day has 24 hours.

I bet that pharmacist talks down to his customers!

No worries, just go back to work

If Cosmo hasn’t slept in days, then maybe an induced coma might be a good option. I wonder if he has any time off coming. Or, would he just do the coma at his desk?

Burrow a little deeper into the clutter on his desk.

Go get a colonoscopy, they’ll give you milk of amnesia, great nap. However….

His sleeping at his desk interferes with his sleeping at night.

Too many pauses in his editing might leave him commatose for an indefinite period.

Just watch one of Biden’s State of the Union speeches…

I have a rubber mallet.

If Ambien totally honest, I wanna be knocked out.

“We have just the thing! Would you prefer regular or fast-acting extra-strength placebo?”
