Sleep has such strength when it teams up with boredom. Mix in a little responsibility and I’m knocked right out. If I HAVE to go to sleep? Forget it. Staring into the dark void for hours on end.
Also I’m doing an experiment and selling my ebooks here on the site as “pay what you want” PDFs. Basically you can get any single book for $1 or more. Check out the ebook store here.

As we entered 2012, TIME posted a “50 Best Inventions” article with entries like lunar-mapping probes, artificial clouds, a potential malaria vaccine, and my favorite, a cat-eared hairband that responds to brainwaves.
It also included a song. Pretty much every news post says the same thing: “Marconi Union’s ‘Weightless’ was assembled in collaboration with the British Academy of Sound Therapy, and claims to reduce the heart rates of listeners.” Soundcloud has it at 128kb/s, so you can read the source and rip the stream, or if you’re like me simply use a browser add-on to fetch it. Or buy the containing album, whatever.
Point is, to beat insomnia I’ve been trying to associate it as a hypnosis device for sleep. Or I would if I could notice the clock before 4:00 am. This must be how it feels to fail diet attempts.
LOL Sounds like my job (^^,)
