My planets aren’t aligned so I’m having trouble sleeping. I refuse to resort to anything but natural strategies so why is it when I try counting sheep, the only mammals that flutter across my eyelids are the ones in the Serta Mattress commercials? Staring at me with a certain arrogance, bleating expletives. Why can’t I find a sheep from the market? Typical to NS, humble, helpful and soothing? —Little Bo Peep

Drink yourself to sleep.
Deep breathing works for a overactive mind.
yeah, booze is natural….
so is another certain natural plant who’s ‘side-effects’ include heavy eyes.
you want to be bored to sleep…
try counting penguins jumping over a fence.
if you get to 1, you’re not doing it right.
think of nice things and pretend you’re a beautiful princess in your castle ….. works for me 🙂
sleep is for losers^^^
One lone Gravol wouldn’t kill you. Don’t you realize that everything that exists is natural??? You remind me of someone who would rather suffer with a huge migrane than – fucking god forbid – take a painkiller! I say fuck that, if I can’t sleep, I take Gravol – not on a regular basis, just a couple times a month, max. Otherwise, a hot shower or bath and clean sheets might help you – with a shot of Tia Maria for a bedside chaser.
A tin foil hat works wonders.
drink chamomile tea
put lavender potpourri in your bedroom
read math or statistics textbook
eat turkey
exercise moderately during the day
take a nice bath and relax
Get the latest copy of Hansard, or pop in a dvd of old city Council meetings?
Get some head.

notsoNTH I love that you wrote eat turkey….that’s awesome
🙂 Thanks RC for your vote on eating turkey. I know it works…that’s why they make children eat turkey on Christmas eve…so the creepy fat guy can sneak into people’s houses without waking up the children!
this one’s for you newt

For some insomniacs anecdotal remedies just don’t work. Sometimes, waiting for exhaustion to finally take over is the only thing that works. Tryptophan, herbal remedies, boring reading or tv, exercise, massage, meditation, visualization, sleepy-time music, compter les moutons or counting sheep, the horizontal bop. All totally useless when the insomnia monster triumphs over the sandman!
OMG UNCLE! 😀
sorry sweet thang, ever since i mastered the art of the copy/paste i have turned into a beast<⓷
Painey – I knew a girl who had that exact same Satan Claus. She could never understand the terror provoked by the expression of unutterable evil on it’s soulless face.

It must be that smokey eye shadow and bright cheeks.
It must be good because the antiquated software here can’t handle the download. I’ll have to wait til I get home. Grrroooooooooo!
