Insomnia is a terrible thing. Most people suffer from the odd night when they cannot seem to get off to sleep, some people suffer from it on a regular basis. I read of a survey a few months ago which reckoned that men and woman think of different things when they are trying to get some shut-eye.
Apparently men think of - ahem - sex, celebrities, words of songs, football etc while women think of things to do, count calories, think of holiday, shoes and handbags.
I think this is a load of bunk. I think of coloured fabric and mentally start making a quilt when I need to sleep.
Mr Penry, on the other hand, thinks about large pieces of furniture.... and duck eggs 
What do you think of?

NOTHING! I used to have a problem getting off to sleep till I found that overcoming insomnia is no more than a case of mind over matter.
As soon as my head hits the pillow I remember that very special positive 'wish' that has proven to be something very special. Within a few minutes of 'saying it to myself' off to sleep I go.
I do not tell a lie.
