How's this for weird:
I've always had a hard time sleeping. My mind starts to wander and then I just lay in bed for hours thinking. I've found that television can help, but only if I can find something that strikes a perfect balance. It has to be interesting enough to hold my attention, but not so interesting as to be stimulating. For the past year, my go to thing has been Investigation Discovery shows on Netflix. I would put on Wicked Attraction or Cold Case or whatever, curl up with my gigantic cat, and watch until I dozed off. For some reason, the theme music at the end of the episode always woke me up, and then I could go to bed and actually get some real sleep.
Netflix just took down all of the Investigation Discovery shows except for one, and it's not doing it for me. I can't sleep. I have to be up for work in less than four hours, and I'm not even almost tired.
