*hic*

[squeequeg]

I know everybody has a cure for hiccups. But does anyone know how to prevent them?

The reason is that I've been waking up in the middle of the night with a bad case of the hiccups. I can't tell if it's the hiccups that wake me up, or if I wake up slightly and then the hiccups start, but I do know that by the time I've gotten the hiccups to stop, I am well and truly awake.

I like my sleep, and I get little enough of it as it is. I'd rather not lose any more to something as stupid as hiccups.

Schedule a tiger to pounce on your chest and debate the state of nature? Waking up to floating golden eyes might scare 'em off, and if not it could keep your feet warm...

I get hiccups when I laugh, and all I know of to do is concentrate on my breathing for awhile. Or keep laughing and ignore them. Hope you find something soon!

Tempting. Maybe I should rig up some weird Rube Goldberg device to scare me out of hiccups if I get them...
