Whoa is me!

[wednes]

I have to leave for work in just 5 short hours, and I cannot fall asleep to save my life. I could try counting something, but what? Not sheep, it will remind me of that movie where Gene Wilder falls in love with the sheep. Not bottles of beer, they will remind me of gross, swilly American beer.

So what shall I count? Any suggestions?

Something that works for me...

[lirrin.livejournal.com]

Is to concentrate on my breathing, slowing it down, and then with each exhale, I mentally say the name of a flower. I start with an 'A' flower, then go to 'B' on the next, then 'C', and so forth, through the alphabet. If I can't think of one by the time i exhale, I just repeat the letter itself.

It works with boy names and girl names and animals, too. Usually I'm out about halfway through the second round of the alphabet. :)
