My brother also used to be a rotten sleeper but now he says he just waits until 1am before lying down. Such tricks don't work for me: as soon as I shut my eyes, I'm met with an elaborate display constructed by the Freudian Fireworks Company spelling out the word ``Failure''. People used to sleep on mattresses made by stuffing corn husks into a sack - and those were the aristocrats. We not only need sleep, we need rest. We need to take some lightheartedness, herd our worst thoughts like goats into a pen and speak again in the morning.
