About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streets of Portland fell quiet, an ominous voice crackled over The Insomnia Clinic’s intercom: ‘Your prescription for restlessness is ready.’ One night, a sleep-deprived student walked in and asked for their usual dosage. The doctor replied, 'We’ve upgraded your prescription—now includes a free coffee from across the street!' As the student left, muttering under their breath, a delivery driver passing by heard the intercom say, 'Next patient: one cup of caffeine resistance.'
2. At midnight, when the city slept, a mysterious sign lit up outside The Insomnia Clinic: ‘Open 24/7 for your late-night cravings.’ Curious neighbors started dropping by for unexpected midnight snacks. Inside, a friendly nurse named Betty greeted each visitor with a warm smile and a plate of freshly baked cookies. Soon, the neighborhood was buzzing about The Insomnia Clinic’s secret midnight menu—from cheeseburgers to hot chocolate—and everyone agreed it was worth staying up just a little later.
3. At dawn, when the city was waking up, a little girl pointed excitedly out her window. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘the lights in that clinic are on again.’ Her mother smiled and said softly, ‘It’s probably just the staff, honey.’ But every morning for weeks now, someone had seen those strange, flickering neon signs glowing eerily through the trees. One day, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the clinic around midnight. He saw the neon signs blinking ominously and thought, 'What time is it closed?' A voice from inside replied cheerfully, 'It's open twenty-four/seven, buddy!' Turned out, it was just the night nurse with a sense of humour.
4. At sunset, when the neon lights of Las Vegas began to glow, a delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘I’ve never seen so many people leaving The Insomnia Clinic.’ Curious, he drove past and saw a sign reading ‘Cures for insomnia—guaranteed or your money back.’ Smiling, he thought, ‘Next time I’m sleep-deprived, I’ll just pop in!’
