My World and Welcome to It.

[amused1]

As I was trying to fall asleep last night I thought of the TV show "My World...". Then I thought about the cartoonist who's work was featured on the show, James Thurber. Which led me to a memory of a musical I was in based upon a Thurber story. Which led me to thinking about the composer of the show who died of an aids related condition in the mid-80s. Which led me to search the internet to see if he had a virtual existence. He does (barely) and a revue featuring his songs was produced as an amfar fundraiser some years ago. The music director is a very well respected member of the Broadway community. I've reached out to his mgmt via email explaining that I had been a friend/collaborator decades ago and would love to know more about the revue. I wonder if they'll forward it to music director?

 

Anyone else have these sort of pre-sleep thought processes?

I remember a commercial for a sleeping pill, Lunesta, that said "Do you lay awake at night with thoughts racing through your head?" and I thought "THIS is the sleeping pill for me!"

I occasionally take a 10 mg ambien and then go sleep eating!

Ambien? Ha, tried it 2x. It had me climbing the walls. Only NyQuil gives me worse jitters than Ambien.

My first and last Ambien - I apparently went sleep-banking to the drive-thru ATM, spent $300 on-line and trashed the kitchen making and eating a mega-breakfast - none of which I remember doing.

A flight attendant friend told me about a phenomenon they see allot on red-eye flights where passengers have taken an Ambien. They seem perfectly fine but have no short term memory and walk off like like zombies.

That is so surprising for me. NyQuil is my "go to" when I really need to sleep, but can't.

I guess I just have some really odd body chemistry. Most people fall asleep on NyQuil, I get amped up. Shrug

We can never know. My body chemistry is too much the other way. Every over-the-counter remedy that specified "non-drowsy" on the label that I have ever tried put me to sleep. I suppose I should be thankful that I'm retired and have the time to sleep.
