Is breathing truly necessary?

I have been extremely congested since last Saturday. I rarely get allergies, but this round came with a full offensive and defensive line ready to hit hard and win. My playbook has consisted of Benadryl, 12-hour Sudafed and boxes of Kleenex. However I took my last Sudafed last night before going to bed so now I am one major player short.

Why is it that when I feel like this that I just want to cuddle up with someone on my couch and watch a movie while they play with my hair?
