I think that movie was so scarry because in some peoples view a possession could actually happen....
Ewwww....yeah. I have a scary movie that used to keep me up at night and sometimes still does. Even during the day it gets to me. I don't even want to post the name of it. I actually think it scarred me so bad that I should get counseling for it or something. It is a true phobia. But yeah, I spent hours letting my imagination run and scare the crap out of me. I think I've always been a thinker when my head hits the pillow and therefore have never learned to get proper sleep. But some of the stuff I mentioned above is pretty useful. If you get up really early and pack a lot of stuff into your day along with a really good workout and take something like Valerian root to calm your body, you should be passing out as soon as you lay down. But keep it up for a bit. Also, don't eat past a certain time. I find eating any time in the evening keeps me up really late and that's when the thinking starts.

And do you drink coffee? If so, what time do you stop drinking it?
