Can’t sleep…. Still being awake at 4 in the morning during market week is reallllyyyyy bad. My hands freeze up and cramp at work, my legs twitch and cramp in bed. I shouldn’t have to fucking get out of bed several times a night to stretch… Sleep isn’t a fucking work out. RA or RLS probably both I’m only 22 really don’t feel like going back to the doctor to explain what’s going on now. Just give me a bottle of hydrocodones and I will sit here with a blank stare like a good girl. I just don’t want to hurt anymore.

THIS IS OFFICIALLY BETTER THAN ‘WALKING FOR KISSES’.
In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.
