What Would You Do if You Won $100,000,000?

So like pay for the box AND the court side seats? Seems a bit much. Like, if you could get in three hours before tipoff down there and drink/chill and maybe even watch players warm up like 1.5-2 hours before tipoff from those seats that would be cool but it seems like just another way to suck more money out of fans. In this case it’s not the wealthy, it’s probably the rich so idgaf.

You can do that. I'm not sure exactly but I think you can come 2 hours early. These boxes allow you to have a bunch of people in the suite and a few seats to rotate through. They aren't really for die hard fans though. They are for a fun party for an employee that wins it for a game or for businesses to hob nob clients.

It's not really all that different from a regular suite. Just better seats and a cooler suite. But the idea is the same. Although suites sometimes come with a seat for every person but not always.

If I won $100,000,000 I'd definitely get one of these for a jazzfanz night. Then I'd be like, welp, going to watch the game, see you all at halftime. All my favorite posters and poker buddies would get the seats.

If I win 100 mill first thing I would do is sleep. A lot.

The last two days, my youngest has regressed and woken up at 6:30, but the previous 7-10 days were heaven with all three waking up no earlier than 7:15. A couple days 7:45-8. Heaven.

Nice.

A "normal" night for me is maybe 5 hours. At least 3 nights per weeks I get less then 2-3 hours of sleep. And probably once or twice every couple of weeks I don't sleep at all. My wife is amazed I can function on so little sleep. I tried to explain it is just the norm for me, so I don't have any other options. But I will tell you as I get older, it gets harder and harder to function during the day after a bad nights sleep.

My son’s gotta stop coming in in the middle of the night wanting to snuggle though. He’s done it too often recently. Last night he woke up crying...went on for 5 minutes or so...he’s just over 3.5...anyway, so I went in his room. He was sitting up crying and I asked why he was crying and if he had a nightmare, he said no, he wanted to drive his car (matchbox) on me...which I let him do like I’m a racetrack. I was like wtf.

Yeah I could never function like that. Maybe for a week or two...but not for a long time. I was very good this school year about going to bed early, around 9-9:30 most nights, for the first month and a half or so...I usually wake up around 5:15 and try to get to school before 7am if I can.

I have no problem going to bed early. My kids are all 18 or older now. But I really struggle getting to sleep then staying asleep. If anything wakes me up at any time after I go to sleep I cannot get back to sleep. I try to control my bedtime ritual very closely. I don't eat or drink anything for 2 hours before I go to bed, if I can help it. I perform meditation most nights, I turn off electronics largely an hour or 2 before bed and read an actual ****ing book (they do still exist... Crazy!), I prefer to shower at night and that helps a little. But it's still a struggle. I'm pretty much resigned to it at this point. I do take medication, like Ambien, if I have something big planned the next day, but I have a really high tolerance for any of that stuff so it doesn't help much, but better than nothing. Through my doctor I've tried marijuana, edibles and vape, I won't smoke it, and it just makes me sick. It essentially does nothing to me until the dose is too high and I crash, which is worse then not sleeping in the first place. CBD by itself does nothing at all, at any dose. I've tried kratom, which is essentially the same as the marijuana, in that it doesn't do anything until it's too much. I've tried kava and maybe a half dozen other herbals. All have the same impact on me, which is to say basically none. Lately I've been dealing with seriously increased pain levels from my cancer surgeries, so I have a decent supply of narcotics on hand, which can put me to sleep but then I sleep like ****. So I've pretty much accepted it is what it is.

So if I won 100 mill, where I didn't have up wake up to an alarm every day, I could just sleep when my body and mind allowed me to sleep and I think I'd feel much better.

Ugh, sorry man. Have you tried melatonin? Do you sleep with a fan, preferably a loud one, on? Could you stop drinking even earlier? During that beginning of the year span, I tried to stop drinking between 5:30-6:30pm. I would hydrate a lot during the day so I wasn’t low and would resist drinking when I woke up in the middle of the night. That seemed to help me a little because I have bladder issues and get up too often. I basically went from getting up 3-5x to 2-3x by doing that.

I've tried probably everything you've ever heard of for sleep, and some you probably haven't. Nothing really has any affect. I completely cut out caffeine about 6 years ago now and that helped, but there are some days I have no other choice. I sleep with a fan and humidifier and white noise, which mostly help with the staying asleep part. We even keep our room temperature controlled separate from the rest of the house. We got a new mattress over memorial day with our stimulus and that's been nice the first few nights.

Strangely enough the best thing I've found for getting to sleep is chamomile tea with nutmeg and honey. It's had the best impact on my sleep. But it's also inconsistent and doesn't pack enough of a punch most of the time. But I've gotten my best sleep with a chamomile and nutmeg tea on a Friday night where I can sleep all I want the next day. Undoubtedly a lot of it is psychological, but that has helped the most.

I'm wired a lot like you and have tried everything you have. 4 hours of sleep is good for me. I wake up routinely twice a night where I have to get up.

I do take medication to help sleep and it works. Making it past the first month or so taking it at first was the hardest cause it messes with your brain. I've never taken ambien and never will probably.

15) Approach the Millers about part ownership. Enough that it would get me a voice in meetings. I probably would not want to invest more than about 30M...which is probably only enough to net me 1-1.5% of the team.
