Actually, thanks. I'll try some of the suggestions.
My mom (who's a psychiatrist) suggested taking one OTC dose of
Benedril at midnight if I still have trouble. She said that the
anti-histamine also acts as a mild anti-depressant. I've never heard that before.
Reading doesn't help too much- I can get engaged in the most mindless drivel
that's out there. In high school, I read my preteen-aged sisters'
"Sweet Valley High" books. They were terrible, and I stayed up all night read-
ing anyways. I read a bad auto-biogoraphy of some doctor in England over
the first night of this trouble. He thought he was being funny about things, but he was just being grossly insensitive... I kept asking myself why I was
reading it, but I finished the book anyways. Sci-Fi short stories are ok-
they end and you can lie there and stare at the cieling. sigh.
