Mystery Solved

Hello friends! I have made a very important discovery and thought I would share.

I recently returned from a trip to Australia. This blog is not about that trip though. This blog is about the misery that plagued me when I returned to the best time zone in the world, the PST!

I have returned from internation travel before, but for some reason I could not get back into the swing of things and my ability to throw down Zs West Coast style was severly inhibited. I found myself being wide awake until 5 AM and waking up around 2 in the afternoon. Nothing was working; food comas, unisom, other sleep inducing methods, nada. I was convinced that I was going to have to request to work nights at my new job, but then I stumbled upon the cure for what ailed me one night. I was up late at night reading up on the evils of sunlight when I decided to have a beer. 1 beer turned into 4 and in about an hour and a half I felt a sensation sweep over my body that made my soul jumpy for joy. I was drowsy! I repeated this ritual for the next several nights and before I knew it I was falling asleep and passing "in" to dreamland by 9 PM.

More people should know about this. Spread the word. Alcohol is a magical elixir that not only makes you extremely intelligent and charming in social situations, but it ALSO rocks you gently to sleep when the Sandman decides to sit on his ass for week.

I am up to 5 beers a night, but I can honestly say that booze saved my life.

That's a very interesting solution to the problem. I saw a news special on sleep eating (a condition in which people actually get up and eat in their sleep with no memory of it the next day). One man had a particularly bad case and after exhausting all other methods, the guy's doctor prescribed two beers before bed, and boom! problem solved. I agree that it is truly a magical elixir.
