Insomnia

So the last week or so I've had really bad insomnia. What I Got So Far has posted about his in several posts and I'm an avid reader of his blog. Maybe I caught a case of it as a result of his thought provoking prose. I'll just blame him because it's easier to blame than to diagnose a real cause. I'm not awake because I'm thinking about anything stressful. Well, I am thinking of a few things, but nothing that should keep me up at night. So let's just say that his few posts concerning insomnia have seeped into my sleep center.

I've tried many things to get myself to sleep. I've even put the television in my room on TV Land--late at night. There are shows like Andy Griffith, Three's Company (no digs at you Egg. I know you loved this show) and Designing Women which only have air time after midnight. All of these shows should induce comas right? Maybe it's the light flickering in a dark room or the phony sounding laugh tracks that keep me from slumber. I'm not sure, but this channel doesn't help me to count sheep.

Let's see, the point of my posts was not really about the insomnia. I was going to write that as a side effect of insomnia and trying to find ways to knock myself out, I had the channel on TV Land. Last night I heard the word nudist colony on an episode of Designing Women so I cracked open my eye to peep. And no, I was not expecting to see any sort of nudity on a wholesome family sit-com. There really wasn't anything to see, they just talked about the nudity more than show it. I was interested to hear why this show was using the words nudist colony in the first place.

But this got me thinking about the documentaries I've seen about nudist colonies. The HBO reality show Real Sex has on occasion mentioned or shown some nudist colonies. This show is real and it's about sex, but it doesn't do real sex and justice. Mostly it shows wrinkled overweight people giving advice about orgasms. I'm wondering if the Playboy mansion is the only place where nudity involves really hot girls and not hairy hippies or retired voyeurs.

This is an effect of my insomnia--incoherent babbling.
