Good Morning Luke Super-Blog Super-Fans,

It is the end of the work week and in reflection I may not of accomplished everything I set out to in the past 5 business days.
While I did manage to go home to Grimsby to help my dad and also make reservations for my brothers graduation dinner, I didn't find gainfull employment or figure out how to sleep on a regular basis.

For those of you who also have historically had sleeping problems I will lay out some past sucsessfull sleeping stratagies I have utilized.

1. Sleep Coctail aka "the Duece"- this was my method of choice in high-school and invloves taking 2 gravols, 2 shots of scotch whiskey, and 2 asprin. While this method in sure to help you sleep in a hurry it may not be a long term solution to your sleeping problems as my friends who are currently addicted to gravol will atest to. Also if your parents find a bottle of booze in an old trophy case in your closet they may jump to the conclusion that you have a drinking problem rather than a sleeping problem.

2. Valium- Talk about the fun train to sleepyville. Although most of my limited university valium experiences involved a fair amount of alchohol I have to say that I had a great time in the 16 min. between when I took the valium and inevitably fell asleep. For problem sleepers the feeling of progressive drowsyness asociated with Valium is very satisfying. Unfortunately valium is rumered to be mildly addictive and is relativly hard to get your hands on especially if you doctor sister refuses to prescribe it to you (she also refuses to get you a scapel unless you geve her a good reason why you might need one).

3. The Kate Lowe super plan - My x-girlfriend (whom is one of a reasonable and not at all excessive # of x-girlfriends) attests to swimming for 20-40 min and then taking a hot bath and drinking a huge glass of red wine. I have not actually tried this but it sounds effective. My only reservations are due to Kate suggesting a huge glass of red wine as a solution to an inordinate # of problems I come to her with ( I also think it is tacky how she is constantly trying to make out with me even though she is getting married this summer)

4. The Ross Matheson Cronic Self-Abuse Plan - and he doesn't even have a sleeping problem

5. Eliminating Life Stressors that may contribute to Sleep Difficulty - Whichever Dr. Phil

6. The if you are allready sleeping and you feel that you might have to interupt your sleep to go to the washroom then instead create an elaborate dream scenario in which you are somehow urinating in an apropriate place plan - not recomended

There you are blogfans, if you have any alternative suggestions for how I might be able to sleep more consistantly than by all means send them too me at lukepettigrew@yahoo.ca

have a great weekend
