8 Ways to Beat Insomnia’s Butt
It goes like this. You go to bed at 10:30 pm. You lay there content for awhile thinking about the funny thing a friend said or the new trick the dog learned. Maybe you turn over on to your side or your stomach and tuck yourself into the sheets fully intending to have a good night sleep.
Then you remember you forgot to put the clothes in the dryer and you need them for the morning. Well, maybe not. Maybe you can find something in your closet if you dig deep enough. You close your eyes again and think about the fight you had with your mom or your significant other. You think about the homework you didn’t do for the class you hate. You look at the clock, and its midnight, and you suddenly remember you have to get up early tomorrow because it’s your turn to bring the coffee. Now you are worried about being tired tomorrow because you aren’t going to get a good night’s sleep.
Alright, maybe if you go to sleep right this minute you can still get a good 6 hours before the alarm goes off. The second you close your eyes, your mind takes off on another tangent. You look at the clock again, and now it is 2:30 am. Perfect. Now you are looking at 3 hours of sleep if you go to sleep right now.
Finally, you drift off to sleep only to be startled by the sound of the alarm telling you it’s time to get up. You feel like you just went to sleep. You feel like you might cry.
Welcome to an insomniac’s nightmare.

I heard something the other day that I had never really thought about before. Someone mentioned to me that whenever you catch yourself missing someone who left your life, you should remind yourself that them not being part of your present is a choice they make every day. They wake up and decide to maintain the silence. They’re indifferent as to whether the space between you gets larger. And that in itself is pretty powerful closure.

There are so many things that are TOP quality about this. The business with the mic rope. The bounding across the stage like an excited puppy or a newsie. The Voice™️ that is so synonymous with John, you know, the voice of a guy who sells ice cream at the soda fountain in the 50’s. The analogy itself.
It’s all so beautiful, such peak humor and content.
