Who Sleeps . . . . .

[Carsman]

I read somewhere to write all of your thoughts and list of things to do in a notebook and put it in a corner of the room before you go to bed. If you wake up with racing thoughts tell yourself it's all covered in the notebook and nothing you can do about it right now anyway. Then think of something that has nothing to do with work or family. But don't count sheep because that's boring as shit, I've tried that one before.

I used to be able to picture myself in a small rowboat, on a glass smooth lake. And I just very slowly rowed, left stroooke, right stroooke, left stroooke, right stroooke, and eventually (not too long) I fell asleep. No more.

Now, I can't get that relaxing picture in my mind, it seems like a million things are zinging around in there, and I can't slow it down! And I get as restless as a rattlesnake!
(I HATE SNAKES)

maybe imagine the boat bottom is insolated with rubber and the lake is electrified.

Electrifying anything doesn't sound relaxing!

it is if you imagine the million things zinging around being shocked/stunned to sleep.

Got any extra rubber laying around?
