A.J., have you considered keeping her heavily sedated? It's something so
common we often overlook it, but the fact is those in (or approaching) a
comatose state are often unable to execise the physical co-ordination
required to - say - fall off a roof. In your girlfiends case the chances
are she'll simply lay there near the edge, and the only way she'll get a
result would be if she yawned and turned over. (Please, don't be alarmed, A.
J. Statistically unconcious patients only yawn and turn over once per
coma).

Hmm ... No, actually A.J., that's actually NOT pretty funny. Are you sure
you're not thinking about an Irish fellow called 'Thermoman' in a yellow
suit, or a French Resistance Bartender called 'Rene'?

Try and reduce your sleeping hours, A.J., and you'll find yourself losing
less sleep immediately! Plan on spending only two hours a day in bed and
curse yourself like a billygoat when you oversleep to three. No better way
to make a body tired than keeping it awake.
