Sleepytime Genius

You know how when you’re falling asleep you always have the best ideas? Or you’ve had a problem that’s been plaguing you for weeks, and just as you’re waking up you solve it, only to lose that brilliant solution before you can get up and write it down?
I think I’ve cracked the case on this one…but the news isn’t all good.
Last night, I sadly discovered the reason behind this drastic increase in my perceived IQ during the middle-of-the-night-hours: It’s the only time when my ideas are able to break free from the bounds of reality. When no longer constrained by the laws of physics or logical reasoning, I can come up with some pretty ground-breaking ideas.
For example, last night I came up with the perfect weight loss plan, and was ready to solve America’s problems of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc… Ready? Here it is: Just make it so food doesn’t have any calories, and then we can inject ourselves with the number of calories (liquid form, of course) we want to consume on any given day! It would have the right mix of vitamins and nutrients, and everything we would need to be the pictures of health. Ta da! Genius, right? Oh yeah, I have a million more right where that came from.
Tell me your great nighttime ideas so I don’t feel so all alone on this one

That’s the type of food the Jettsons had. Remember how the robot would give out a little yellow square and then cut it in half when the dad only wanted half a breakfast something or other? It would take out all the fun of eating. And I love to eat.
