Ah, obdormition... One of the worst. You don't see it coming, and it quickly overcomes your senses, leaving you numb. You all have been in its grasp - remember that last time your foot 'went to sleep'?

Most homo sapiens are inherently resistent to obdormition, and so our science hasn't even begun to recognize its evil... We do know that bad posture and poor working conditions increases its virulence.

You see, there are some who lack resistance. It starts as a simple asleep foot (or arm, for those who sleep with their hand over their head), but progresses relentlessly.

By the time you realize something is terribly wrong, you are helpless to resist.

The typical outcome at this point is complete corporeal absorption - the obdormition now is YOU, and you are gone. The obdormition is now free to propigate, and the cycle continues - completely unknown to most...

Good posture everyone!
