Like every other blogger on the planet with comments enabled, Hmm gets its share of comment spam. A lot of this spam is pharmaceutical. Most of these sites offer very little in the way of value and are likely created by a very small number of people. Don’t see as much blatant spam coming through services like StumbleUpon and FriendFeed.

That’s how I came upon stillsleepy.com which is one of the best looking pharmacy promotion sites I’ve seen to date. It has videos, information, a clean design and is SEO personified. If I ever was to consider going down the dark path of being a spammer — and don’t worry I’m not — this is the type of site I’d want to promote.

It’s almost useful. Even though I don’t have a sleeping disorder, this site makes me go hmm.

Check out the track how sleepy you are widget to the left (the primary reason I made this post). Unfortunately the website mentions the drug Provigil dozens of times (don’t worry I’m only going to mention it in this paragraph) but check out the side effects of this drug:

may cause you to have a serious rash or a serious allergic reaction that may result in hospitalization or be life-threatening. If you develop a rash, hives, sores, swelling, or trouble swallowing or breathing, stop taking PROVIGIL and call your doctor right away or get emergency treatment.

Think I’d rather have sleeping problems than a serious rash or allergic reaction that may result in hospitalization. Not to mention hives, sores or swelling? Being sleepy sucks, yes, but taking this drug sounds potentially worse than, well, just taking a nap.

Are you a power napper?
As I get older I’m finding power naps to be helpful. Just short naps here and there, usually after lunch get me raring to rock and roll for the rest of the day. I don’t know if this is something normal as one gets older, but I’m about 99.5% certain I’d never take any drugs if I was too sleepy. Yes, even if prescribed. I hate taking meds. I’d much rather go natural. Eat more fruit and vegetables, exercise more, swing from vines, whatever.

Did this post make you go hmm?
