aerobedhead

having long suffered from chronic insomnia, ann has decided to take the bull by the horns and do something about it. for the past two nights, ann has been conducting her own little sleep clinic in superette's craft room. in it, she has her firmly-inflated aerobed, a stack of furniture and design magazines, and her ipod loaded with lullabies and relaxation tapes. the biggest adjustment, however, has been eliminating her favorite way to wake up each morning - a piping hot cup of coffee - opting instead for dreaded decaf.

it ain't pretty but here are the results.

Oh Dear Ann!!!!

Have you tried Valerian Root? I am a night owl, so you can always call me if you are bored and can't sleep.

This picture is priceless.

I like this hair configuration! You should style it that way. No sarcasm intended.

Are you not wise to the magical powers of Valerian?!

From: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Valerian.asp

Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Its therapeutic uses were described by Hippocrates, and in the 2nd century, Galen prescribed valerian for insomnia. In the 16th century, it was used to treat nervousness, trembling, headaches, and heart palpitations. In the mid-19th century, valerian was considered a stimulant that caused some of the same complaints it is thought to treat and was generally held in low esteem as a medicinal herb. During World War II, it was used in England to relieve the stress of air raids.

In addition to sleep disorders, valerian has been used for gastrointestinal spasms and distress, epileptic seizures, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However, scientific evidence is not sufficient to support the use of valerian for these conditions.

... I mean if it can relieve the stress of the British during WWII air raids, it should help you get a better night sleep too.
