                    Can you get chamomile tea in Brazil? It's quite tasty and very relaxing, without the diuretic properties of my usual sedative (Budweiser).

                      I used to think too much when I was going to sleep. I'd find myself lying there thinking about everything and nothing all at the same time. I would toss and turn until the wee morning hours. I find that if I veg out, completely relax, and clear my mind of everything, I never have any problems falling alseep. So relax, don't think about anything (don't even think about not thinking about anything), and enjoy your rest. :) Works for me. I can only hope it works for you. Jon Sagara What about :bob:?

I did not find anything derogatory to anyone or anything in what David said in his original post. The first derogatory statement in your exchange with David was made by you, Martin: Martin Marvinski wrote: Just because England is a backwards country doesn't excuse you from posting such chauvinistic rhetoric online. I live in US, but I've come here from Russia and I know first hand how it feels when someone who knows nothing about your country throwing insulting statements like that at you. "You Russians...", "You Brits...", "You --insert any country, nationality, religion--..." I find your statement about England to be ignorant and insulting. And it is your apology to David that is due as far as I concern.

                                      What David Wulff means is that whenever he is stressed out, he goes to his wife or girlfriend and uses their bodies for sexual release, thereby giving him a state of relaxation and comfort. He is also recommending that everyone else have the same types of relationships with women as he does, i.e., merely using the female form as a stress reliever or a human toilet.

Can I just clarify - are you saying someone who is taking it up the tradesmans entrance or eating a fish or pork sandwich is also releasing endorphins ?

Does anyone have the same problem ? Does anyone have a solution (drugs not accepted) ? Mauricio Ritter Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank

                                          Is the lack of sleep disturbing your waking hours? Maybe you don't need those hours of sleep you are trying to get? Are your dreams waking you up? Or are you just not getting to sleep? When I am having trouble falling asleep, what I do is: **1)**exercise for at least 1/2hour **2)**start warming some milk **3)**hop in a warm shower **4)**drink some warmed milk with Baileys (I see honey was suggested,that would work too) **5)**lie in bed and read a dry book until I fall sleep I usually don't make it though a page! good luck :-) qomi "Don't compromise yourself.
