Jet Lag

Slept 8 of the 10 hours from LAX-LHR. Paid the price last night sleeping about 3.5 of the 8 hours I was in bed. Lying awake I tried counting and then contemplated sheep:

- Why do we count sheep jumping over fences? This makes zero sense. Sheep don't jump. (Jason & I discussed this one around 3am.)

- If sheep could jump, they couldn't be fenced in!

- An electric fence for sheep is really funny to think about.

- The Serta sheep advertising campaign is really brilliant in its clever yet obvious use of sheep.

I also had some thoughts on how bizarre it is that Whitney Houston turned into a crack addict, but that is another stream of thought entirely.
Wish us luck for a better night's sleep tonight!

The idea, presumably, is to induce boredom while occupying the mind with something simple, repetitive, and rhythmic, all of which are known to help humans sleep. It may also simulate Rapid Eye Movement, tiring people's eyes.
Also, Bobby Brown is the key to your 2nd observation. Slumbag!
