Novel & Cerita An Apple Sleep Experiment

"Goodbye, Mister!" Her small figure slowly faded from view. "Goodbye…" Dominic stared at the empty room, lost in thought for a long while. … Morning came, and he woke from sleep. Sunlight streamed in through the window, filling the room with warmth. As he recalled the events of the night before, Dominic murmured, "Was that a dream?" His gaze suddenly shifted to the nightstand, and his body stiffened. A small red shriveled apple rested there in silence. Dominic reached for it.

I ordered the bottle, and I did not mention it to Alana, who had moved to a different state for her own graduate program and was therefore not available to witness my behavioral decline in person. The package arrived at the apartment on a Thursday afternoon. I sliced the cardboard open, took the glass bottle out, and held the nozzle directly to my nose. I felt the bond immediately respond with a sharp, specific recognition of something it associated directly with what it wanted. I put a single drop of the liquid onto the collar of the Providence jersey, turned off the lamp, and went to bed. I slept for seven hours straight without waking up a single time, which was the longest period of unin

Catherine settled easily against her shoulder, Ellie the stuffed elephant tucked under her chin. Within minutes of being laid in the crib, Catherine was asleep. No protest. No negotiation. Just sleep. While Catherine napped, Alex opened the journal again. The pages were already filled with neat, anxious handwriting. Day 1: Normal energy. No noticeable changes. Day 2: Slightly quieter? Hard to tell. Day 3: Nap extended to 1.5 hours. Woke groggy. Day 4: Running slower. Stopped after two laps around living room.

"How else would I know if it's strong enough?" She took a small spoon, stirred the powder evenly into the pot, and tentatively blew on a small sip to taste it. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she added a tiny drop of honey. She had tasted every single cup before handing them to me. "Alice." "Yeah?" "What time do you usually go to sleep after checking the pillow?" "It depends. Sometimes past midnight, sometimes two or three in the morning." I was shocked. "You only sleep four or five hours a day?"

The bright red numbers indicated 14:00. His jaw tightened. Damn. Only one hour? He slumped back against the leather chair, resting one arm over his tired eyes. His sleep pattern was completely destroyed. Sleeping for sixty minutes without waking up was a new record this week. However, closing his eyes didn't provide any respite. Behind his closed eyelids, Alice's image continued to flash, haunting every second of his sanity.

She had noticed it twice already when she had tried to help him push his wheelchair. Unbeknownst to her, Nolan's mind was in a jumbled mess. He glanced at the big wall clock, confirming that he wasn't seeing things. He suddenly realized that he had slept four hours longer than usual. It was already 9 am in the morning, and the sun was already up. Normally, he woke up precisely at 5 am, no matter what time he went to bed. Even if he slept at 4 am, he would still wake up at that exact time. This disrupted sleep pattern wasn't good for his health, even if his body could handle it. But surprisingly, he had overslept.

He had also prescribed some drugs for him before leaving. He successfully pushed himself to the edge of the bed and sat firmly. His eyes wandered to the big vintage clock that hung on the other end of the white wall. It was some minutes past ten AM. He had slept more than thirteen hours and was still feeling tired. He yawned loudly and got up from the bed, leaping slowly to the bathroom. He had a quick mouthwash and a shower before changing into a black jogger and a sleeveless polo. He took the steps downstairs and walked to the dining table. He picked up an apple from the table and took a big bite. He took another bite and in a few minutes, he had eaten the entire apple.

It was going to be a long wait. The sleep syrup would take a little while to fully take effect. Especially on Cassar because of his alpha blood. His blood would try and destroy the syrup as soon as it entered his system, so I only had a couple of hours to put my plan into action. It wouldn't physically harm someone. It just put them into a deep slumber. If the user knew what they were doing, their target wouldn't even notice they had consumed any to begin with. Some parents gave a little bit to their children when they were desperate.

David asked, setting up the new monitor. "The internet says it might help her sleep longer stretches." "The internet also says we should wake her every two hours to feed even if she's sleeping." "The internet is confusing and contradictory." "Extremely." He finished the monitor setup, tested it. Isabella's sleeping face appeared on the screen in perfect clarity. "This is slightly creepy." "It's very creepy. I love it." We stood there watching her sleep through the monitor even though we could see her directly in the bassinet five feet away.

Helen bent down and gave Alex a hard push. “Wake up! Stop pretending!” Alex didn’t budge. His breathing was steady, his expression peaceful—the perfect picture of deep sleep. Helen rolled her eyes. Then, as if proving a point, she lifted Alex’s arm. “If a kid is really asleep,” she explained, “when you lift their arm and let go, it would stay up. It wouldn’t just drop back down.” She released Alex’s arm. It stayed suspended in midair. Zac’s jaw dropped. “Wait, that actually works?”
