lol :D

Just sleep with your head under the covers.


no no no all you have to do is put a plastic bag over your head, much easier and much more effective in my opinion.


That's the advanced low budget technique. Kids, don't try this at home!

and i read somewhere that suffication is not because of the lack of oxygen, but because of the excess amount of carbon dioxide in your blood. i guess becuase you dont have oxygen the co2 gets there, but just a thought. but the chamber idea does make sence. some one should try it if they have an extera few grand laying around..
