As a life-long insomniac, I am in awe and envious of anyone/anydog that can simply fall asleep without ritual, and stay asleep. I’m sure 50+/- years ago I was able to, but it’s been so far removed from my experience I have no memory. In college, when I HAD to cram for an exam, or write the term paper ALL NIGHT, it served me well. Also, while readying for my senior recital, i found that it’s a MUCH more creative time to emote on the piano after midnight. I mean, seriously, didn’t Slow Hand, Eric Clapton, sing about, “After Midnight”??? Oops… I digress.
If you’re part of the sleepless you’ll recognize the following:
*melatonin
*valerian root
*benadryl
*nyquil
*tryptophan (Thanksgiving turkey)
*lavender
*chamomile tea
*kava kava
…and the list goes on ….. of things …I DO NOT RECOMMEND BECAUSE OF ALLLLL THE DISCLAIMER REASONS!!!
WHY??? Why am I talking about this? Because my sweet doodle, Bonnie, can konk-out in the most epic ways – AND on a dime. One moment bugging the crap out of us to play…next … OUT!
