Everyone's doing it so I might as well..  
And of course the instant reaction to that is always "If everyone was jumping off the Erskine Bridge would you do that as well?"

*grin*

Anyway, thiis doesn't involve plummeting to a messy death in the depths of the Clyde, oh no. This involves me doing nothing and you guys doing all the work! (My kind of meme!)

Here's the deal:

1) Pick a song that you love that you want me to forever associate with you.
2) Comment and tell me what song that is.
3) If I respond and don't have the song, send it to me (through http://www.yousendit.com ) so I can sample some of your favorite artists!
4) Post this in your journal so you can make a mix that reminds you of the people that you love/like the most in the entire world.

Non-meme type things. I watched most of the "How to sleep better" programme on the BBC last night (or at least I did after I was reminded it was on and then found it on the channel listings - BBC Scotland had sport on) There was a 'rate your sleep' thing running through the whole programme and I played along, knowing full well that I've been an insomniac for nearly 11 years now. According to the scores on that thing I may think I have a problem but (and I quote from the website) because I'm not dozing off whilst driving then I don't actually need to do anything to fix my sleep patterns.

Right, so it's normal for someone my age to get four hours sleep a night if she's lucky, to wake up at least three times in that space of time and to feel dog tired every single day of her life? And because I'm too good a driver to 'doze off' at the wheel, I don't have a problem?

Am I normal?

Stupid BBC and their stupid programmes... *g*

Yeah, I had the same reaction to it because the system they used measured 'sleepyness'. Im hardly ever 'sleepy'. I'm tired a hell of a lot of the time, but hardly ever sleepy.

what was bizarre about it was I probably sleep less all in that the olg guy they featured as being the chronic insomniac but I don't have a problem.

*headdesk*

You haven't given me a song btw... *g*

Everybody Forgets Sometimes by Ezio. I think I sent it to you at some point but I can send it again if need be.

If you sent it I still have it - I hardly ever delete music from my PC. Thanks!

From doing it interactively when the programme was on it said that I should leave at least an hour between finishing work and going to bed, but I do that anyway. And also that maybe I should see a counsellor or speak to friends about the things that worry me and therefore keep me awake at night.

See I didn't do the interactive part because I thoguht it started at 9. Wasn't until you mentioned it that I realised it was already on.

The website version kinda sucks.

Yeah, blame Beck for that. It was her that said it started at 9. From what the programme said the website was supposed to give you a more detailed Sleep Plan.
