      I really really don't like homework and once I start doing it I get sleepy within 5-10 minutes and after 30-45 minutes of it I can be sure that I fall asleep within 10 minutes of laying in bed. Don't you have something like that to bore the crap out of you?

      EDIT: I just saw that you're 44, a few years older than my dad. I really have no idea of what would bore the crap out of a 44 year old man.. I'll try to think of something in the coming moments

      LOL! Being 44 yrs old my life could bore the crap out of many people.

      Here is my nightly ritual to fall asleep: After getting ready for bed, I lay down an read a boring fiction book (I have a whole bunch of classic books in my Kindle - Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, Oliver Twist, etc). I will read from 15 to 45 min depending on how I feel. (My wife, who has the reverse issue I have, is asleep 3 minutes after her head hits the pillow). I spend a 5 - 10 minutes reviewing my dream journal. I shut off the light and meditate (breathing and clearing my mind) for 5 - 10 min, do some LD Visualization, and then repeat my mantras until I doze off. (pretty boring stuff, but it works).

      The bigger issue is when I wake up. If I turn on a light I won't be able to go back to sleep. If I get up and move around I won't be able to go back to sleep. If I wake up briefly and don't focus my mind on anything (like recalling a dream) I can usually go right back to sleep. It really $ucks!
      Total LDs (some very brief) = 2004: 4 * 2005: 18 * 2006: 16 * 2007: 2 * 2008: 0 * 2009: 0 * 2010: 1 * 2011: 12 * 2012: 3 * 2013: 1 * 2014: 6 * 2015: 1 * 2016: 0 * 2017: 18 * 2018: 3 * 2019: 0 (so far)

      Thanks I know I'm a funny guy, I like making people laugh at silly jokes and I think making silly jokes out of most things in life lies at the core of my soul. And being told I'm a funny guy is something I enjoy more than almost anything else
