Yup heard good things about them particularly those containing valerian, butthat's natures valium.

Apparently inteligent over thinks suffer most with insomnia because hard to turn your brain off. Where as stupid people just drop like logs when their body is exhausted.

So habits to get out of; watching TV in bed, checking emails using mobile in bed etc, thinking about complex stuff. Keep your bedroom as unstimulating as possible and try and build in a pattern of behaviours that tells you now its time for sleep.

My flats so small it doesn't have a bedroom and the only place I can watch TV is in bed. I set the sleep timer on the telly most nights because that actually helps me sleep. I'm also fairly thick. I get jealous of people who can fall asleep within 15-20mins.

You aint thick, you could throw a towel over the telly after a certain point.

Lee you seem in a most saucy mood the last couple of days.

I watch TV in bed to make me sleepy, and I quite often wake up the next morning with it still on.

I can only sleep if its completely dark, or if I'm extremely tired.

I'm completely vulnerable to assault from creatures under the bed or in the closet.

I'm just bad at the getting to sleep and waking up part of sleep. I could go to bed at 8pm and still struggle to get up at 6am the next morning.

Did you get the new job?

I have to wear silicone ear plugs to sleep. Does wonders for me.

Sleep is, to quote one of the great literary figures of modern times, where I'm a viking.

Providing I'm in my own bed with my own pillows I could make sleeping a competitive sport. Once that changes, if I'm in a hotel for example, I'm the complete opposite.

I think I tried them once, but I could hear my own heartbeat.

Are you sure it wasn't a stethoscope?

Try a pair of comedy breasts, with the nipples snugly fitted into your ears.

Why are we all hunched over our computers typing messages into BCG on this fine sunny day?

I think I will go out and get some vitamin D.

Well jobs, still waiting to hear.

They're all smallish and part time, but between them would cover my rent and bill reliably.
Which at the moment is what I am looking for.

If anyone wants to hear what I sound like, I'm on here from 1:48 for 5 mins:

I say "one of those things" too much, but I didn't correct the man for referring to me as a comedienne, so balances out.

But you surely kicked him in the bollocks afterwards?

You sound so confident and natural on the radio! Y'bastard.

Nice use of the word trepidatiously, too.
