Hillary applies hypnagogic techniques to loll her constituents into drowsy complacency. Trump shouts “WAKE UP”.

Bernie and Hillary sitting in a tree
Most hypnagogic pair in history
Both liberal bores
To their commie cores
Can they win an election, we will see.

Sing ‘em out good and enthusiastically and in a old church with mortar and high rock walls ... and nobody is going to be hymnagothically sleepy in the pews.

I am a fan of this word. The first time I encountered it was when researching sleep paralysis, during which a person may have hypnagogic hallucinations.

Not quite. "Hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations are visual, tactile, auditory, or other sensory events, usually brief but occasionally prolonged, that occur at the transition from wakefulness to sleep (hypnagogic) or from sleep to wakefulness (hypnopompic)."
I experienced sleep paralysis a lot in my late teens and early 20s, and I had these all the time. It usually felt like someone or something was in my room waiting to strangle me.

Hillary, shrill, pedagogic
And her socialist screeds defy logic
Though she frays my last nerve
I have come to observe
She’s so boring, I get hypnagogic

Listening to one of Crooked Hillary’s speeches on the Internet would be hypnagogic for me, if only I didn’t get angry at the sight of the Hildebeast!!!!
