The Cure That Backfired

A weary blonde woman shuffled into the doctor’s office, her eyes heavy with sleeplessness and dark circles to prove it.
“Doc,” she muttered with a yawn, “I haven’t slept in days. The neighborhood dogs bark all night long—I’m going crazy.”

The doctor nodded sympathetically and began digging through a drawer of medication samples.
“I’ve got just the thing,” he said, holding up a small bottle. “These new sleeping pills are top-notch. People swear by them.”

Grateful and hopeful, she took the pills and headed home.

A few days later, she returned, looking even more drained than before. Her hair was a mess, and she could barely keep her eyes open.
The doctor blinked in disbelief. “You look worse! Those are the strongest sleep aids we have!”

The woman groaned, rubbing her temples.
“Oh, I’m sure they’re amazing,” she said. “But have you ever tried getting a bunch of loud, stubborn dogs to take a pill at three in the morning?”
