I think I still have an assortment of incense in the house, including jasmine. Maybe I'll give it a try, although I sleep well already. With my luck, I'll probably end up starting the house on fire by going to sleep with burning incense and be snoozing so well I don't hear the smoke detector alarm. Either that or develop a cough from the particulates I've let loose in the bedroom...

I have lavender oil, which is pleasant but does zilch, but I'll certain get some jasmine.

A friend of mine who's as bad a sleeper as I am went to a psychopharmacologist last week about it and he said something quite astonishing, and it was, essentially, So what's the problem? Just take sleeping pills. She said she was already taking Atavan, and he said, If it's not working, take more. Double it and if that doesn't work, then triple it.

And she left with a purseful of samples of all sorts of things.

Isn't that surprising? I often take sleeping pills, but I try to take as little as possible and I worry about it. I wonder if all psychopharmacologists are so casual about the pill route.

I'm going to respond to the Tulia piece you posted, but I haven't had time to be online. And now there's thunder and lightning. And I should get off.
