My principal sent out this tip for getting to sleep. He said to count from 300 backwards by 3's. He said he's only got to zero once in his life and he's been doing it since he was in college.
I don't really have trouble falling asleep but I've been trying it out of curiosity. The first couple of nights I actually stayed up longer because I kept doubting the math and starting over. What I've learned since is that I have zero focus. Somewhere along the way I lose focus and have these weird random thoughts that have absolutely nothing to do with the task at hand. And then I start trying to figure out how I started thinking about those topics.
I think what's happening is that I'm starting to fall asleep but sort of dreaming too and then my brain remembers I was supposed to be counting and I get out of the dream state and start counting all over again.
My principal is stupid!
