It's probably a kneejerk reaction, but I've dealt with pretty severe insomnia most of my life because of the way my skin crawls when I think about a drug that can forcibly diminish my conscious mind. Something that can literally make me fall asleep. Now that I have a bunch of kids I'm starting to wonder if getting over my initial reaction to those sorts of drugs would pay dividends. More sleep and I'd be able be a "better dad", or get more work done, or any other number of things. 
Sorry for a minor derail, it;s just not something that comes up often so I figured I'd bite. The circles I travel in don't find themselves at the water-cooler discussing sleeping pills very often (that probably doesn't happen very often anywhere, stigma and all).

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
