When I wake up in the middle of the night, I start imagining any number of calamities that result in failure and ruin and the inevitability of being forced to give handjobs to hobos in order to get some of their shitty mulligan stew (not a euphemism) in order to stave off starvation.

It makes me hate life. The working out thing definitely works. I did that last night and slept so well. So. You know. I should probably do that more often.

That's how I used to put myself to sleep up until about three years ago when life started sucking my soul out of my ears and now I basically fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. Or my face hits the mattress, if I'm sleeping on my stomach.<br /><br />I can't really be of much more help to you because the only times I've ever had trouble sleeping is when I've been really sick (when this happens I usually just watch TV until I think I can fall asleep again), or this one time in elementary school when I was nervous about going on a flight by myself for the first time. I was either excited or scared. I can't remember. Either way, I couldn't sleep, but then I slept on the plane.<br /><br />Anyway, I still say go with the head fanfic thing. What usually happens when I do this is my brain wanders away about half-way through the narrative.

Also, I have a whol..."Sad math"...hahaha. Also, I have a whole bunch of what I like to call "goodnight songs", mellow songs I listen to right before I fall asleep. I just put one ear bud in (the ear that's not on the pillow) and sometimes I fall asleep while the music is on, but other times I just listen to 2 or 3 songs and then it's sleep time. I think it almost works like classical conditioning. Music over = Sleep time.<br /><br />And let me tell you, HANDS DOWN the award for the BEST goodnight songs goes to Bon Iver. "Re:Stacks" is my number one last song I listen to before I fall asleep. "Holocene" is the runner up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977216441133336094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109551.post-78826037260242770512013-01-15T13:05:22.140-05:002013-01-15T13:05:22.140-05:00That's definitely my theory.That's definitely my theory.kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399682228073757903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109551.post-84515698438424226052013-01-15T13:02:34.141-05:002013-01-15T13:02:34.141-05:00I figured.

Ma...I figured. I mean, who wouldn't pick Ten? <br /><br />Maybe he regenerates when you fall asleep?
