Re: Zero Day (Netflix)

Same. I won't want anything more beyond what you've posted (and even that felt like a LITTLE too much info). Good thinking!

Re: Best Acting Performance in Lost

I said Michael Emerson as Ben Linus. I never knew when he was telling the truth, and Emerson seems to be a master at that type of character, since he pretty much recreated that same confusion in...

Re: Guaranteed ways to quickly go to sleep?

It does help me, I'm sure, that I really don't nap. I don't like naps, and I really hate waking up from naps, so I avoid them. If I am flagging at my desk in mid-afternoon, I find something fun to do...

Re: Guaranteed ways to quickly go to sleep?

Oh, one thing that also might help is a weighted blanket. I don't own one, but I realized inadvertently that the theory works for me. It was so cold here one year (and the waterbed mattress had a...

Three seasons of the year I wear socks to bed, for sure. If my feet feel cold, I can't sleep. It's currently in negative temps here overnights (Fahrenheit), so the wool socks are a MUST.

Re: Guaranteed ways to quickly go to sleep?

I'll piggyback on what both Yoda and MovieGal said above. Add to Yoda's info also not watching TV in bed. It's just a bedroom, not an office or a living room.

Also, I take a half dose of an OTC...

Also, it says April 2, 2025. (Or Feb. 4, if you're British.) :D
