BTW, if anyone is curious about the effect of smelling salts (such a Victorian-sounding term, isn't it?), Justin Bourne wrote an interesting blog entry about it:

The only thing I can tell you as a non-scientist ex-hockey player, is that they are excellent, and for a brief second, they make you feel like you’ve been punched in the brain. Sounds healthy right? …Whatever, I seriously need to see if I can find some of those for writing.

By “punched in the brain,†I mean there’s a little stinging “woosh†feeling, then clarity. Like, your eyes focus better, you feel more alert, and you’re 63,000 miles from yawning (still writing about smelling salts here). It doesn’t last or anything, it’s just a little less violent than a slap in the face. Granted, that may not be the case long-term, but athletes are generally willing to trade some of the future for a more productive now.
