Sleep?

I have been having trouble getting to sleep for the past week. I have just flat been too tired to sleep. So, I turned to the source of all knowledge for the cure: the Internet. People, there are some awesome medical advice there just waiting for me to use it.
Here are 3 of my favorite insomnia cures I found and my general reactions:

1. Rub your temple with cat fat. (WTF? Where do you get cat fat? I think killing an innocent kitty would keep me up for different reasons)

2. Eat chicken cooked with milkweed. (Isn't milkweed poisonous? so weird)

3. Smoke a mixture of black tobacco, toad powder, and honey. (My personal favorite)

Given the choice between kitty butchering, putting myself to sleep permanently and smoking something--I choose...(drum roll please).....to take a pill. As a side note, late night infomercials are soooo awesome. Currently, I am watching a fantabulous commercial for the Snuggie. Operators are standing by right now for my call!!
