Like Peaches and Cream

What is it about sleep that makes it so mysterious? When you want to fall asleep, it is never possible. Neither a positive nor negative expectation of the morning can change that. I start my Christmas countdown on December 26, and come Christmas Eve night, I cannot sleep. I dread mornings when I have to arise before seven, and come the preceding night, I cannot sleep. Why is slipping into an unconscious state so difficult?

Alcohol and a punch to the face both make reaching dreamland so easy.
