Sleep Aids

In search of Zzzzzzzzzzzz My habit is to go to bed with earphones on, listening to something on NetFlix that will  (1) do me some sleep learning, and,  most importantly, (2)  put me into that sleep. Quickly.  I think I do this to avoid recurring memories of having voted for Hubert Humphrey in 1968, and there was that thing under the bleachers at the prom.  if I give my brain its head.  Anyway, this is not as easy as it sounds.  Here are 5 of the latest Jack Horner: Building a dinosaur from a chicken Too fascinating.   No way I could keep eyes shut Rajesh Rao: A Rosetta Stone for the Indus Script Too fascinating.   No way I could keep eyes shut Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure Al Gore's hometown covered by seawater?  Too exciting a thought; animated the hell out of my brain. "Under African Skies" chronicles the making of Paul Simon's solo 1986 album, I thought, what the heck.  I like that album, so I'll just let it lullaby me.  Way way too fascinating, and I spent half the night hopping around under the covers and was exhausted in the morning from lack of sleep. Note By Note - The Making Of The Steinway Go figure. One of the most  fascinating documentaries I've ever seen.  That's right - "seen." I had too watch.  Exhausted in the morning. However, last night I found the Rosetta Stone!    HELVETICA.  An 80 minute examination of a type face.  I quickly found myself wanting to slap the people doing the talking, but in a flash I was out cold.  Sleep in a can. Intended as a sleep aid. I am not responsible for the consequences of watching this at work.
