Insomniacs Anonymous

How does a nice online chat group trying to apply the twelve steps to sleepless folks turn into a secret hookup service?

So many ways to try to fall asleep verge on physical intimacy.

One problem though, calling your sponsor when they’re already asleep seems like it wouldn’t work too well.

My name is Liliput, it’s been two days since I saw the sun rise.

hi Lilli

"Maybe a blowjob would help."

That's all it takes to start a story.

My name is Hugs, and I'm waiting for the sun to rise today.

I don't think the twelve steps really apply here as insomnia is not a addiction that destoyes lives, but ...whatever. Maybe it's just a support group for a particular webite dedicated to the condition.

So you have these eight folks who are new to the site, and are starting to get to know one another. "Man, I'd kill for a sandwich from Gambino's right now," someone says and suddenly everyone realizes that person is a local from the area they live in.

Conversation ensues and they eventually figure out that the website automatically sorts it's members into chat groups based on IP address. (I've no idea if this is possible, but ... whatever.)

"You guys want to meet up? For real? Maybe at that all-night diner on 5th?"

"What about Smoky's Tavern on 6th? They are open till three. Great barbeque and a beer sounds good right now."

Not long after, eight strangers from all walks of life and ages, ethnicities are scarfing down pulled pork and brisket, with pitchers of beer between them.

If that's not a recipe for shenanigans, I don't know what is.

When I’m really sleep deprived, it’s like I’m drunk. So I could see there being a support group that includes designated drivers who are at least getting a couple hours or people who have recovered and check in on their peers.

So like one woman is normally pretty meek but after a day without sleep she starts getting silly and flirty. So her support person has to escort her up to her apartment where she starts getting really playful and eventually talks them into bed.

Like: “how about a drink before you go?”

“Karen! That’s a B-12 shot! You need to get to sleep!”

“No! If I can’t sleep, I may as well have some energy! Oops looks like I dropped it into my…boobs. Guess you’re gonna have to fish it out so I don’t drink it…”

You'd be surprised how many different things can be shoehorned into the AA model.

Also ten years ago I would have told you I was over my insomnia, then some dynamics played out with Serious Conversation late at night and I realized the defensiveness I was experiencing was all due to elaborate coping mechanisms to get to sleep at a decent hour and higher reason was violently incompatible with that. They were so ingrained I was a fish in water asking what water is.

This topic is actually almost a wheelhouse for me. The main reason men fall asleep after sex is pavlovian - so many of us use it as a sleep aid when alone that it's automatic with a partner. There's also massage, breathing exercises, visualization tricks, avoiding activities that undermine the whole thing. Many of these could end up as a rationalization for having someone in your apartment, and a few end with someone touching you, or actually in your embrace.

And if it ends in an orgasm then that'll help with sleep too. And if you want to tease about it a bit, that's a good weapon of last resort, so maybe you agree it was a one-time thing that happened weeks ago, and then it becomes two, then four, then fuck it why don't I just move in?

So this idea would work just as well as a nonerotic story. Was thinking back on Dave Attel’s “Insomniac” used to love that show.

Group lives in a decent sized city and they realize sitting alone isn’t helping things. So they go out as a group for safety, using public transportation and finding places that are open at 3 AM and just chilling with each other while also learning more about the city and the people who are up at night.

For erotic twists:
1. Group starts finding places they can sneak into to have sex. During the day the observation deck on the city’s building has too many people on it but they found a way up there at night

2. All night diner is where the strippers go after their shift. The ladies and bouncers of course start off skeptical but soon their groups combine and decide to find new ways and places to have fun at

3. Group gets an all hours gym membership. They soon realize they are the only ones there and start working out naked or using the equipment in unapproved ways…the. A new gym member joins them

4. Group accidentally picks that diner where the off duty hookers have coffee between tricks. Imagine the delicious confusion. You could then lead up to Lilliput's "fuck it might as well move in". One fewer hooker.one fewer insomniac. One more happily ever after.
