Sheesh. That's quite a list. Sounds like he probably took one or two of them, they weren't doing the job, then probably took a few more trying to get some rest. Who knows. If that's what happened, I really feel for the guy. It could happen to tons of people.

I've had insomnia quite a bit... and you get to a point where you'll do just about anything to sleep. Then there's added frustration when you feel like a medication isn't doing anything. Throw a little Valium in there and Xanax on top of things... out like a light. For good. Tragic if that's what went down, especially if having someone just with him probably would have cured at least part of the problem.

Oh, and Nicholson's an idiot. What a dumbass thing to say. When I first read the media quote, they acted like he had counseled Ledger on drug use, and to stay away from illegal drugs like some wise old man. Turns out he was just talking about how one specific sleep aid put him out like a light. Probably a lame conversation like you'd hear at any water cooler.

The thing that's scary, is that at 1 p.m. the Housekeeper found him sleeping soundly, snoring in his bed. The masseuse later found him dead face down at 2:45 p.m.

My first thought was that he took pills in his sleep. Noelle had been on a few different sleeping pills her first year in Law School because she had horrible insomnia, and she did everything from the Laundry to Food Preparation in the middle of the night, with no recollection of doing it. It's because of those instances that she stopped taking Lunesta and Ambien.

I always wondered why Wonder and Danger got married at 3:30 AM. This clears a few things up. Wonder, you sneaky bastage!
