Granted. You do indeed get a few hours of peace and quiet — just the most blissful calm you've ever experienced — and then never again.

You go on to live a frantic life of constant unrest and barrage on the senses. Soon you give up on sleep entirely, lose your grip on reality, and barely notice when you pop a blood vessel in your brain and expire.
