sleep
Hey there,
Anybody have any tricks for getting to sleep at night? I can sit here all day and not want to think about lip. The second I get into bed, though, my mind is full of ideas and enthusiasm. Fortunately I remember a lot of the ideas in the morning, but I’m sure I lose a few. I don’t want to get up and write them down because I’m afraid it will encourage the night-thought, when really I’d rather it stop altogether. I’m hoping that when I finish up my morning job, I can rearrange my other job’s hours so that I have a couple days off and can get more lip work done during the day rather than in the evenings, which will hopefully help. But if anyone has worked out how to will themselves to sleep, to breathe deeply, meditate, relax, anything…

red wine works wonders for me
I usually have myself running around busily all day that by the time it’s ready to sleep, and as soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep straight away anyway. Other than that, I really don’t know what would work. I know of people who’ve tried everything, but to no avail. But, yeah, as I said, have yourself occupied flat-out and your body (as well as mind!) will thank you at the end of the day. Also, get into a regular habit of waking up and falling asleep at the same time every day so that your body clock will eventually regulate on its own.
I think Michelle Yan has a good point but other than that, you could try Horlicks – a malted powder which you mix with milk. Drink it warm before you go to bed and it supposedly helps.
