A Cure for Insomnia

Ron and I found the cure for insomnia:

Step 1: Book a 3-day vacation
Step 2: On the first day, have a medical emergency
Step 3: On the second day, start an intense discussion with your spouse
Step 4: Don’t begin the discussion until midnight

Step 5: Make sure you run the gamut of emotions
Step 6: And keep talking until the wee hours of the morn
Step 7: On the day you fly home, arrange for a snowstorm in Denver
Step 8: Re-book your tickets on a redeye

Step 9: Confirm a middle seat in the very last row
Step 10: Make sure a tall man sits in front of you
Step 11: One who will lean his seat ALL the way back
Step 12: Arrive home at 7:30am on Monday morning and don’t nap (you have to write an article that day)

After completing these steps, crawl into bed at 8:30pm and don’t set your alarm. Your insomnia will be cured. We’re talking ten and a half hours of sleep without waking up once.

Works like a charm.

There's got to be an easier way! How about a glass of wine and another one of those heavenly massages from your hubby...just a thought.

We all knew you had the answer to this problem! Genius! You should market this remedy and sell it. :)

So sad, but so funny. Probably NOT so funny crammed in the back of the plane behind the tall inconsiderate man. I'm happy you finally got some sleep - I hope you can hunker down this weekend and get in some good sleep and some good lovin' -from the dog and THE husband!
