Can't Sleep the Clowns Will Eat Me...
So, you've all had trouble getting to sleep at some point, right? You're lying there, and sleep almost seems like a trick you forgot, as if you suddenly found you couldn't swim or ride a bike or even walk. You remember the basic motions of sleep, getting into bed, turning off lights, closing eyes, and finally lying motionless.
But, it's as if a barrier prevents your consciousness from actually moving between the state of life and sleep.
This may be where our experiences differ, because I generally have two possible responses at this point:
I either quietly panic, and end up lying in bed thinking of the number zero with my eyes closed, or just say fuck it, and start wandering until I get sleepy. I managed to get all the way around Piedmont Park and wander as far as City Hall East using this method once.
Zack knows how the shit goes down.

I'm the worst insomniac I know...I often can't get to sleep because I can't turn my brain off -- my interior monologue just won't shut the fuck up.
Try drugs or reading, or a combination of both.

Always with the drugs! Damnit, I live healthy - whiskey is my only sleep aid.
I really meant over-the-counter sleep aids.
Alcohol really isn't good for sleep, because it makes you sleepy for a few hours and then has a rebound effect.
I heard about these seratonin pills recently, aparently they stabalize your sleep cycle.
