Does anyone actually "count sheep?"

[TeamTomlyn]

I like trying to see how far I can get through the Fibonacci sequence before falling asleep. Never get too far into it before I'm out cold.

To hell with a bunch of steenkin' sheep. We don't need no sheep.

Tactical Breathing:
Inhale thru your nose for a 4 count. Hold your breath for a 7 count. Exhale thru your mouth for an 8 count. 4-7-8; 4-7-8...etc. About 6 cycles of this will help clear your mind (some of ya'll...even less required). Try this with some white noise in the background. Works for me.

Of late, on the nights I can't sleep, I try to find something productive to do; sort brass, clean the garage etc. Tonight's "sheep" are whetstone strokes. I've always enjoyed sharpening my knives, I think its the repetitive motion and the sound. It takes much longer than it used to. I have to stop and let my hands and forearms rest but it still zones me out. What do ya'll do on the nights you can't sleep?

Hope the honey isn't sleeping either. lol.

I read this forum on my phone. Then rcgroups. That doesnt work i go to gutenberg and pick a book. Distracts from all the daily reesponsibility thoughts.
