I did watch a hail storm at 4 AM this morning.
Some of you can probably relate.
Many years ago I decided I had to do something about not getting enough sleep. I bought a book on self hypnosis and learned a wonderful technique for turning off my brain and body. It involves concentrating and relaxing each part of the body while counting from 10 to 1. Now when I need to sleep all I do is begin the count down. I usually do not get past 8 before being fast asleep and don't wake until the alarm sounds.
