I just can’t sleep on my own. I haven’t been able to for almost 5 years now. I will deprive myself of sleep for days, and when I think I’m so exhausted that I’m about to drop, I will lay down and try to close my eyes. Fifteen minutes later, I’m staring at the ceiling, counting sheep. It sucks. I try not to take sleeping pills every night, because they give you that horrible “morning after” hangover. I tried all natural “Alluna”, but it’s made with pure Valerian root…and have you ever smelled valerian root?? Not a good time. Warm milk doesn’t work. Ambien is addictive. Maybe I should start on the great, American novel in my off hours.
