Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for June 08, 2014

Good thing I never owned a dog. Even I do meditation, tea and music.

I’ll have to try the spinning in a circle thing at 3:45 am sometime. Nothing else works.

Work hard, Play hard, drink beer = sleep ;-)

Most people’s insomnia is due to their mind not shutting off. Being perfectly still doesn’t shut off the thinking.

Go Paleo. You’ll be amazed at how many health problems go away. Also, light control is really important. Lights from various electronics and streetlights can really confuse your body.

“A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down.”

— Robert Benchley

I haven’t suffered from this condition for years due to long hours at work. Worrying obviously can account for it and so I’ve conditioned myself not to worry – life’s too short.Reading just 3 or 4 pages of a good bedside book always draws me off.

I’ll be posting Number Six’s latest ‘Oscar & Wild’ later at ‘Andy Capp’.

The dog method works for me if there is enough alcohol involved

I don’t have sleeping problems. Almost fell asleep reading today’s comic.

That can’t be true, there’s nothing wrong with me but some nights I lie still for hours & only fall asleep when it’s time to get up!

Perhaps, provided you remove all clocks from the room first (is it 15 minutes yet?).

Not true! At least not for me. I fall asleep fine, staying asleep, that’s another matter.

So, Chazz is trying a second cup of warm milk. Looks like a raincloud in his thought bubble. So anger is keeping him awake.

“Atlas Yawned”? That’s pretty funny and it’s also one I’ve never heard before, which is really saying something since I’ve been an admirer of Ayn Rand and a supporter of her philosophy Objectivism for 50 years.

But I hope that this little joke doesn’t dissuade anyone from reading “Atlas Shrugged” with its brilliant plot, memorable characters, and — the cherry on top — the first statement of a history-making philosophy that IMO completes the American Revolution.

But I must give my standard advice: Don’t believe anything anyone tells you about Ayn Rand or Objectivism — and yes, that includes me — until you can read enough of her writing to judge for yourself. You can find recommended reading lists on the website of the Ayn Rand Institute aynrand.org.
