7. I always thought I'd be the type to doze off, worry that I'd missed a few
and get all agitated and wide awake.

17. Yes, and it works
But you have to move your eyeballs in a REM pattern, back and forth as you're counting. That's my theory anyway. It also helps to count backwards from 1000.

22. Stop counting sheep and start thinking about sex.
Whatever happens to be bothering you at the time will be completely forgotten and you'll have a great night's sleep. Seriously.

23. I count weird sheep
Sometimes, I count Redskins catching a ball in the endzone, their jersey number corresponding.

Or, I count sheep doing a little dance.

Never really worked that well for me.

LOL.
