"THE SITUATION ROOM with Marilyn Sands"!

Rate: 7 Flag

situation room 

No - I'm not crying Wolf; but if you take a Right at the Kitchen - you'll find my Situation Room - otherwise known as the Boudoir.  That's where it will happen - if it's gonna!

On the Kitchen Table? Nah.  On a Sailboat? Nah.  On a 747? Nah.  With "The Situation" from Jersey Shore? Yuk.  In Clooney's Lair?  Unlikely!

That's right; I can only sleep in my Bedroom!  ha ha

Make that - supposed to sleep!

sleep1 

I'm trying to figure out why I make my bed up; when I didn't sleep!  

That's like taking "The Morning-After Pill" after you've just seen a George Clooney Movie!  I think there's a theme here.

They say - to get a good night's slumber; you shouldn't do anything else in that room but 8 hours of sex.  Sleep!  Sleep!

That means; no Computer-ing, TV Watcher-ing or Eater-ing:  Crackers in bed; not my problem - they were mostly from the Deep North!

Laptop on my lap on Salon while watching Jay on The Four Poster?  Never happen - I don't want to laugh so hard & accidently hit Gordon's Comment Button!

(this is where the Comic says)

Is he laughing?

My problem is; I worry too much.  I worry Dolly Parton can't sleep on her stomach!

Is he laughing now?  Damn!

Doesn't matter anyhow; I heard there's a 7 minute hour delay from Brazil!

He knows I love him.

Rich, poor, Democrat or Mormon - we've all prayed to the same God -  Sandman!

Yes, a lot of esteemed & steamed people have had trouble with sleep & had the strength to say something about it:

I agree with Ernest Hemingway when he said "I love sleep.  My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know"!

And Night-Owl - Frank Sinatra said, "I feel sorry for people who don't drink.  When they wake up in the morning; it's as good as they're gonna feel all day"!

But my Props go to Elizabeth Barrett Browning who said, "Don't stay in bed unless you can make money in bed"! 

Lizzy - "How do I love thee"?  Indeed!

But they say - there's a lot you can do to help you sleep:

WAKE UP AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY

I do - 4 AM!

IF YOU CAN'T SLEEP; GET UP & DO SOMETHING

Well, I'm writing this n%w - are you hapie?

USE A FLASHLIGHT TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AT NIGHT

"The Super" keeps all my Batteries in his refrigerator!

WIND DOWN WITH A FAVORITE HOBBY

"The Super" is a little busy banging his wife! 

Oh, I thought it said "HUBBY"!

All I know is - if I don't get some shut-eye by November - by mistake; I may vote for Newt! 

So pray for me!  Hell; pray for us all!

If there's a chance Newt gets the nomination and if there's a chance your lack of sleep may cause you to accidentally vote for him, then maybe you ought to ask your doctor to put you in an induced coma until Election Day. I don't particularly like to sleep although I'm not averse to an occasional nap; this is based on my theory that if you like sleep, you'll love death. I figure I'll catch up on my ZZZZs when I'm dead.
Like you, I have had insomnia most of my life. I admit to taking a pharmaceutical sleep aid when needed. Otherwise, it's Yogi Bedtime Tea and a cookie and a late night movie with my kitten.
Thanks so much Margaret! You wonder how these Politicians sleep at night! But I guess they've been telling falsehoods for so long - even THEY begin to believe it! Wake me when it over, okay?
Not fun at all. I'm sooooo lucky that my music trick works for me.

Ah well, as the big pharmaceutical companies say, "We have a pill for that!"
;-)

Thanks so much Erica K! My regular Sandman doesn't show up anymore. I think he was outsourced! I see, you don't need one!
I readily admit laughing all the way through this since I am always awake at 4 am. I have insomnia too.
I find all those infomercials insane. I change channels on the politicians and right now here in Florida every channel is running them.
aw sleep. A dream I don't find often enough.
Thanks for stopping by Sky - I knew I could count on you for medical advice! Whatever you do - don't call me in the morning! ha ha
Thanks so much Mission! Florida - you're in the spotlight now! Find out why Jeb doesn't want to Endorse & why "W" is so quiet these days! BTW - I heard he couldn't sleep without a Night Light!
Glad I didn't read this close to bed time - the laughter would keep me awake for quite a while. Delightful, and I hope you sleep well. And get enough of it before the November elections. Or, Margaret's suggestion sounds like a plan.

Thanks so much FunsunA! So glad you got a kick out of it! I think my Sandman lost my email address! He could always multi-task here on Salon - and take care of me & a whole bunch of other Strange Bedfellows!
I agree with Frank...there is no down side to drinking yourself to sleep. R
Thanks so much Gerry! ha ha Yes, but drink from a glass; not from the bottle! Frank taught us so much!
I'm usually so exhausted from my job that I sleep like crazy. But on the subject of alcohol, when I was 19 I didn't have trouble sleeping necessarily but discovered Kahlua and hot chocolate in the evenings . . . gross, I know. But it was quite the enlightening discovery. Drink a little alone at night? Why not?
Thanks so much FunsunA! Know a good Lullaby?
