I discovered as a child that pretending to be asleep is a great way to fall asleep. Whenever I was trying to fool one of my parents into thinking that I was asleep, I'd slow my breathing and lie perfectly limp and still...and doggonit if I didn't actually fall asleep almost immediately. I still sometimes, when I'm having trouble sleeping, pretend like I'm trying to fool someone into thinking that I'm asleep. It's just that now that someone is me. Thanks for the spelling fix, Hilltop.

Your fake sleeping could use some work, too :) Something about pretending to be asleep makes one smile. I guess it's the "I can't believe this is really working" feeling. Cute!
