Describe any recurring nightmares you may have had.

B. Bea Arthur. Enema kit. I think you know where I'm goin' with this. (5 points)
C. I was having lunch with Satan. And Satan is all like, "Well, if you're unhappy, then why don't you just quit your job?" And I said, "Well, exactly. I guess I'm just afraid." And then there was an awkward silence, and Satan finally said, "You really need to just follow your dreams. You know that as well as I do."

SCORING
Congratulations! You are about to find out your Sleep Number™, which will help you to secure many nights of restful slumber. Add up the numbers for each answer you gave and use the corresponding number to find out where you fall:
Less than 20 points:
Although you are a light sleeper and you may find yourself taken out of your lovely dreamland by the licking of your trusty dog's tongue once every few months, your expensive mattress, designer sheets and sickening lack of human character should make for many restful nights. What worries you have about your Sleep Number™ should be filed in the back of your mind behind the card reading, "Is tipping 25 percent just excessive?"
21 to 40 points:
You sometimes have trouble sleeping, but overall, you're just like everybody else. Some coffee, maybe a hit of ecstasy, and you'll be just fine. A new mattress to correspond with your newfound Sleep Number™ may help, but since we like your score better than any of the rest, we'll just go ahead and tell you that it's just bullshit anyway, so don't even listen to us.
41 to 60 points
You are in the low range of what our science calls, "Deep Sleepers." Given the chance, you'll sleep until noon on the weekend because even as a child you never gave a damn about Saturday morning cartoons. A mattress that can support your hulking dead-tired self and which has a bit of firmness to it would probably suit you best. Since this quiz has not much to do with sex, we have no idea why this is, but your category of sleeper seems to really be into sex toys. Don't look at us. We're as surprised as you.
61 to 80 points
For you, sleep is an escape, a means of getting away from the world. You allow yourself to fall into an almost coma-like state when you sleep, in essence telling the world to fuck off while your subconscious feeds you a steady stream of dream-crack. This may be because of depression, dysfunction or plain old laziness. You snore a lot, and people hate you for it.
81 points and above
You are gullible, a little bit psychotic and you probably wouldn't know a good night's sleep if it stuffed you in a box spring and cut you into bacon strips. You are the ideal Sleep Number™ customer and we will be contacting you soon to sell you a very expensive mattress. Thank you for your time.
