I tried to get to sleep thinking of Brahms lullaby but unfortunately the musical me simply heard every musical instrument playing in the orchestra and then mentally saw the whole musical score, right down to each instrument and when it joined in with the others and the crochets, quavers, semi quavers, rests......Think to myself, "think SIMPLE" so still thinking the music of Brahms lullaby my brain goes into overdrive and I start to produce an algebraic formula/equation: Example: 1X + 1/2X = 2,000 sheep.
Think to myself, "think SIMPLE" and then I start to come up with recipes for baked lamb and work out additions to the menu, and go onto making mint sauce....then its back to counting sheep on a hillside and I then start to worry about the sheepdog.
Meanwhile the algebraic sheep were dancing to Brahms lullaby and the poor old sheepdog was now carving up a leg of lamb and my brain was so active that there was no way I will get any sleep. I’ve given up and got up and am about to blitz the ironing.
Forget sheep as a cure for insomnia. You can't get to sleep simply by counting sheep because it’s a subject that takes you off into a tangent the minute you start.
5 points of view:
Never count sheep! They're smelly, and noisy, and they leave shit all over the place!
I hope your day goes better than your night did.
If I can't sleep I go through every MP.
If that fails, I go to the British MEPS.
Then the Scottish parliament.
If that fails, I go to MPs elected in the LAST election.
nd round, and back, till eventually, I sleep.
Crushed, I must try that.....I think what kept me awake was going onto lamb recipes and the different ways to grow and make mint sauce. Yes! your method sounds very reasonable - after all, the MP's are all a load of bloody sheep.
I know someone that has a picture of sheep jumping over a gate.... they used to count the sheep when they could not sleep :-)
When my nephew was young he told me that he didn't like sheep because all they do is moan - so maybe that's the problem in counting them.
