And Miles To Go Before I Sleep... And Miles To Go Before I Sleep

Sleep is a wonderful thing. It re-energizes the body, it lets our brain do magical things that even our greatest scientists cannot fully explain, and it just plain feels good.

How many mornings have you woken up on a weekend thinking dazily, “It’s Saturday!” and then drifted back off to a happy slumber. Don’t even get me started on the “snooze button”. The “five more minutes” that can turn into 30 minutes have to be the most coveted time we will ever spend in our lives. We crave sleep and even when we try to ignore the body signals that tell us we really need to go to bed, eventually our bodies shut down in a “Who’s your daddy?!” smackdown to make us sleep.

But, insomnia on the other hand… Good… God… Make… It… Stop!!! There is only so many hour long television infomercials I can take late at night. They are on almost every channel. Who are the insomniacs who are thinking at 4:30 in the morning “I’ve got to get one of those “butt-clenching-ab-rolling-juicer-food processors” NOW!”

I can’t quite figure out who the target audience is at this time of the night. Do the advertisers think we are all sitting by the phones with our credit cards in hand just hoping to have another human to talk to in the middle of the night?

Wait... that kind of explains the sex chat lines, okay, well those guys found their target audience. Kudos to you sex hot line people. You rock. But can we skip the sex and just be friends? Maybe we could talk about shopping and cute guys until I fall asleep?
