I don't ever get what I give. Man fucking rant.

::Pretend this is in a creepy voice::.....Join me.....Sleep with me. I'm good...I promise.

My husband has a weird psych disorder. He's not manic, he's not depressed, he just does. not. sleep. Like....for years and years. Not for a week, not because he's not tired, not because he got on a bad schedule. His body just never gives him the go to rest. Without meds, it never will. So he takes heavy duty sleep meds, and that fixed everything which is dandy, but I am a casual insomniac. "Sleep with me", for two minute in the middle of the day, had him saying, "Turn that off, it'll put me out". He still needs the meds because he can fall asleep just fine, it is staying asleep that bugs him, but that shit is MAGIC. Just try it. Try it for ten or twenty minutes. Is it boring. Hell YES IT IS BORING. You'll be super bored just until you're so fast asleep you can't remember being awake. That's the point. It also keeps you asleep because there's noise, but nothing that attracts you, so you go back down.

Try it. If it doesn't work, so be it. But it is an easy fix to a common problem and it works for a lot of people.
