That's great man! (I don't mean the not-getting-sleep thing.) I hope your book gets a two-thumbs-up from the editor. If it makes it to stores, I promise I'll buy a copy. (And you'd better sign it, OR ELSE!)

Want some advice on sleeping?

Try getting active during the day to tire yourself out. It can be as little as a walk around the neighborhood, or if you're athletic, run a few miles. Anything helps, really.

Make sure to not use the computer 1 hour before going to bed. Studies have shown that using visual interfaces (i.e. video games, tv) stimulate your brain and cause a lot of subconscious mental activity. Staying away from electronics will give your mind some time to shut down.

Drink warm milk 1/2 hour before you go to bed. It causes your brain to release a chemical that makes you sleepy. biggrin

Finally, if none of these work, turn on a fan and listen to the rhythmic 'swah-swah' of the blades. It'll zone you out, believe me ^^
