The deal is on!
During the Victorian era, cookies were known as "sweet biscuits" and were eaten only by paupers, who were forced to substitute rich, hearty tallow with inexpensive sugar. Relish this sweet substitution with today's Groupon: for $22, you get a 24-cookie gift box (a $50 value) from Insomnia Cookies, a Manhattan-based cookie-delivery service. Shipping is included in the value of today's deal.
Insomnia Cookies began as a project to feed fresh-baked cookies to hungry college students who spend the wee hours studying, partying, or studying parties for an anthropology course. Cookie gift boxes can be shipped nationwide and store their baked bounty in a chocolate-brown box topped with a satin ribbon. Inside, your mother, father, or long-lost identical twin will discover 24 deliciously soft cookies in an assortment of signature flavors, which include chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, white-chocolate macadamia, double-chocolate chunk, M&M, oatmeal raisin, and peanut butter. Include a message in the complimentary greeting card, or leave it blank as a haunting memento to the delicious flavors words cannot express.

Groupon Says
The Nightmare of Insomnia
Even though you don't sleep, living with insomnia can be a nightmare. Here's a guide to what you can expect when you stop sleeping:
Night 1: For once, listening to those audio tapes of your grandpa describing classical music doesn't put you to sleep.
Night 7: You finally "get" pudding but start to worry that you have too much blood in your body.
Night 10: You can't look in a mirror without hallucinating.
Night 20: You stay awake building ships in bottles and then drinking their contents.
Night 50: You've lost the ability to sleep but you've gained the ability to taste the fear on the wind.
