“Boredom is a relatively easy disease to catch. It can be caught in the following ways and many more:

-Hanging out with a group of 5 or less people, where the majority of the group has the virus.
-People with A.D.D or A.D.H.D tend to contract the virus randomly.
-Being stuck in one place for an extended period of time. IE: grounded to your room, stuck in an elevator, snowed in at a cabin, ect.
-Losing contact with the outside world for whatever reason.
-Being alone with someone who has the virus, without a specific plan or goal for what you are going to do.
-Being unemployed makes you twice as likely to contract the virus.
-Being unemployed and out of School makes you up to 8 times more likely to contract the virus.
-People under the age of 24 are 52 times more likely to contract the virus than people over the age of 40.”

“Boredom is not the traditional virus. It can be caught many ways, in which other viruses can not, and once you get it, you will have boredom for the rest of your life. One natural cure for boredom is aging. When you reach a certain age (between 24 and 45, depending on the person, and the age in which the virus was contracted) boredom will just cease to exist within your system.

But for those less fortunate, they will be stuck with boredom until they are properly cured by methods found in this book, including but not limited to reading this book. Boredom can also be temperately eliminated, one way boredom can be eliminated is by being over burdened with work or stress. Stress is one thing that is a direct result of boredom, therefore if you are stressed out, you skipped the phase of boredom, and went straight to the final step of stress. While you are stressed, you are still infected with boredom, but the virus remains dormant until your stress goes away. One other method of curing boredom is through things you are passionate about, or things you think are fun, but really, neither of these are cures, as the virus remains dormant in your system during these time periods. The stated above act much like sleeping does, it is only a temporary cure, and it is about as effective as knocking yourself out, when it comes to actually solving your problem.”

Introduction:

The lights are off, there is not a single thing in the room, no lovely furniture, no television with my favorite sitcom playing, no desk to do work at, nothing, except me. I sit alone, in the dark. I am trying to figure things out, but I can no longer decipher the truth from the illusions. My mind feels as if it is going to explode, suddenly I wake up in a deep sweat. It was just a dream, or is this the dream? I really can’t tell anymore.
Boredom is something that is hard to explain, and yet, it can very simply be defined as, “the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest.” Boredom is basically what happens when you have nothing to do, and no one to do said nothing with.  Back to the dream, when you are bored to the point where you just want to give up, you sleep. Sometimes, when someone is depressed, they will do drugs as a temporary fix, sleeping is the drug of the bored. Sleeping will give you a temporary solution for the problem of boredom, but after that happens, you will be back to square one, this book is the rehab for your sleeping addiction, this book is what you need to actually cure boredom, instead of finding a temporary fix.
Not only does sleeping have a metaphoric translation to being a drug, but if you really think about it, sleeping might actually be a drug. I have came to this conclusion based upon the following points. Sleeping is used as a temporary fix for boredom. The more you sleep, the more you want to sleep. Really think about what sleeping is, you pass out, hallucinate, and then wake up forgetting everything you hallucinated about, sounds like a drug, does it not?
