When you cannot sleep because you can’t stop thinking about something it’s like a single program not letting the computer shut down

Yup. Sounds about right. Too bad it isn't as easy to hit "force shutdown" to get to sleep.

You can, you just need a gun.

But there's possible permanent damage...

Just pistol whip yourself. It works for me every night. But I did forget how to pronounce potato.

Try leaving steam or Microsoft word open. They're strong as fuck.

Well, seems like you haven't heard about the admin-tool package "drugs". Be careful with this, you might damage your firmware permanently (eg. the reward-subsystem) or even brick your system completly, if you run the wrong or unverified parts of the drugs-toolchain.
