Right, uh, so….I haven’t slept in a really long time. Like, a really long time. The last time I had a nap, *N Sync was still a thing. They aren’t a thing now, right? Just Timberlake.
Right, anyway, so, this period of endless insomnia has, like, given me some expert knowledge about what to do with having 33% more free time on your hands. So, here are some ideas to do when you can’t sleep.
1. Write articles about how to handle insomnia. See, right, it’s funny because it’s meta. Uh, maybe. Okay, moving on.
2. Learn a new skill. You’re awake anyhow, right? So try to find some stuff you don’t know how to do. You could pick something like throat singing or drums, which also have the benefit of meaning you won’t, like, be alone for very long.
3. Watch PBS. So. Many. Documentaries.
4. Squirrels! They’re the secret masters of the world. They wait. Watching. Uh, maybe.
5. Research. I mean, you can totally find out lots of stuff. Like a cop who beat a dude to death and got clear of it, or a guy who has been killing people for decades and hasn’t been found or even suspected. Or, like, why islets are the secret tools of the Squirrelarchy.
6. Stuff.
7. Things.
8. Get really good at coffee. It is the Black Blood of Life and it will be your only friend. Or maybe tea. Tea is also good.
Uh, right, so, hopefully that helps. Remember, sleep hygiene is important. And They are watching.

What’s to Love: Justin Jordan exploded onto the comics scene just four short years ago with The Strange Talent of Luther Strode and caught everyone by surprise. Now he brings us John Flood, a series that combines the metaphysical with the procedural in a way we think is really fresh. Joining him is Jorge Coelho, whose fantastic work on Polarity and Sleepy Hollow made him a BOOM! favorite. Perfect for fans of Desolation Jones and Sherlock Holmes.
What It Is: As the result of a government experiment, John Flood no longer needs to sleep, but now he’s in a constant dream state and sometimes can’t tell what’s real and what isn’t. A side effect is that he sees patterns and makes connections no one else can, which serve him well in his new “career” as a makeshift PI. Together with a burly ex-cop, Flood begins to investigate when he “sees” one man responsible for thousands of unsolved murders, but now he himself has caught the killer’s attention...
