So, several of us have been sleeping poorly recently. Myself, the girl, and Amanda to name a few. I was explaining to Amanda some of the tricks I use to get to sleep. My main trick... daydreaming.
I let my imagination roam free. I pick a topic that I am interested in. For instance, cars. I enjoy driving fast, though I don't get the chance to unless I'm autocrossing. Or trying to stay alive while driving on highways in Maryland, which is not an easy task sometimes. That's a rant for a whole different time, though. But I digress. I pick this topic and I go with it. Sometimes I use it as a mental exercise as well. For instance, I'll think about the strengths and weaknesses of police cars and how I, if I were to flee from the police (which, on record, I will NEVER do!), would pursue this. Police cruisers are built for speed. My car is not. Police cruisers are not quite as nimble as mine, though. Then I take this to new heights. I imagine where I would have to go to elude the police. I imagine what I might have to do to evade a police helicopter, which, if nothing else can be learned from Spike TV, one can learn that a police helicopter just about always ends a police pursuit. Yes, I am ashamed that I sometimes watch Spike TV. Don't judge me. You're just as weird in your own little ways. Go ahead. Take this time to introspect. I'll wait...
...
OK, you can stop now. Eventually, the day dreaming takes a life of its own, and then I don't have to apply any brain power to doing this. Then, sleep just takes over. This usually works. May it work for you, too!
On a different note, Picasa is awesome. Stay tuned...

If I had cable, I would join you in a Spike TV-aholics annonymous support group. I'd watch it. If for nothing else than that over-dubbed Japanese game show that I love or the fact that you can turn on Arnold movies at just about any time of the day. : )
