Can't effing sleep

Recommended Posts

The best sleep therapy I have ever tried was to write a diary.
Humour me:

A real live paper book/notepad with a pen/pencil.
In bed, write all about your day, feelings, what you are thinking and what you still need to do the next day.
Do this for a couple of weeks.

Noone else reads it, not even you again.

It is meant to allow you to clear your mind.

It did wonders for me. Put my life into perspective too!
If you give it a bash, let me know how it went...

I think true friendship is under-rated

Ditto. My standard is 3-5 hours.



I do appreciate a good nooner though... (that's an afternoon nap... for all you dirty minded people... ;))

What I want to know is what ever happened to nap time? They practically forced everyone to do it in kindergarden... then once we finally got it down they took it away...

btw: Has anyone ever read:"All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" by Robert Fulgham

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned..

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life.

Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we.

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere.
The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and sane living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
