      I was trying not to sound to eager, don't want people to think I'm slutty. But, inside I'm doing backflips.

      I used to take natural pills for insomnia, but then I discovered meditation. And I was able to sleep again... It was just about stress :)

      If I were a duck I would be P.O.'d for linking that to me.

      Try practicing yoga/meditation! I used to have a very chatting mind and that really helped! =)

      Well at least you know what a yank is. And as to whether you only are by location, it kinda depends on how long you've been there. If you start talking like them and forgetting what it's like to be in the south.....yeah you would be a yank.

      I recently spent a year in OK just to be sure I'd not forget my roots. When I go visit kinfolk in LA or AR, I slip right back into my y'alls straightaway. ;)

      that's actually great advice I'll consider buying some I really NEED SLEEP!!
      Hey, Algunter,

      Get out of bed (if you're in bed currently) get a book, sit down at the kitchen table, and read. Or do a Sudoku. Or pay some bills. Whatever. The goal: Get out of bed. 30-60 minutes later, your eyes will start to close on their own.

      My $.02: don't do stuff in bed (ie: watch TV, surf the net with an ipad or phone, etc...) and keep the light relatively low. You want your brain to start making Melatonin.

      (or pop a Melatonin or sleep aid.)

      An active mind is usually your brain saying "we have to do something." Determine if it can be done now or not (pay bills? yes, you CAN do that now. Wash the car? not so much at 2:40am.) If you feel up to it, do the things you CAN, then go to sleep. ACCEPT that there are some things your mind will fret over that are USELESS. For those times, go into bed, stare up at the ceiling, and simply accept that you aren't going to get any sleep. (9 times out of 10, accepting this worry somehow lets you go to sleep, since so much of the stress is simply caused by the fear that you won't get sleep. Yes, it's circular logic, but, it works.)

      Finally, if there's something bothering you (itchy tag on pajamas, the house is too warm / cool, etc...) take steps to change that. Cut off the tag. Turn up the AC/heater. Make yourself COMFORTABLE!

      Then, get to sleep. :)

      Gnite! :)
