You know what rules? After being soundly asleep for 2 solid hours waking up with a sever case of the hiccups that just won't go away no matter what you try. So I've been sitting in bed for the last 15 minutes trying to make my hiccups stop to no avail. Finally after holding my breath for nearly 2 minutes (I know, I didn't think I could do it either, but Mr. Stopwatch doesn't lie.) my hbiccups appear to have subsided to occuring about every 2-3 minutes instead of every 15 seconds. Maybe now I can go back to sleep.
