Why not just make them all non-drowsy…
In: 266
I imagine because when you’re sick, you’re also often having issues going to sleep, so there will be times when you need to feel clear headed and able to work, and times when you’re just wanting it all to fade away into black for a bit.
I feel the biggest reason is because sickness can definitely disrupt sleep. I imagine all medicine made folks drowsy at some point and then society realized heavy duty jobs can’t be completed safely, and intellectual jobs couldn’t be completed with full competency. Back when we thought heroin and opioids were medicine, we’d sit around getting “well” all day, but it wasn’t getting well. It was destructive, unless of course one wanted to pass out for hours on end.
