instead of counting sheep...

Sooo, my newest most favorite app is called "Nature Sounds." Basically I'm obsessed, and don't think I will ever be able to fall asleep with out it ever again. So it's like this mixer...where you can custom design your own "lullabies," to put you to sleep. All the sounds are suuuuuuuuper subtle, and tootally relaxing. Last night I fell asleep to "night"/"waves"/"crickets" all at the same time! All I can say is it's FANTASTIC!!!!! I've never had problems sleeping, but I think like 2 minutes after I turn it on I'm out! I feel like I'm camping on the beach, or laying next to a supple waterfall! BUT--with the comfyness of my own bed (and minus the back-ache the next day!!!)

The worst part is when you wake up and you seriously THINK you are going to open your eyes to something beautiful, and it's once again the disappointing college apartment complex outside. Lame.  Eventhough you go through a brief bit of heartache in the moments after opening your eyes,  I still recommend this app to all!

And THIS, is one of my favorite sleeping videos of all time. The highlights are my chubby cheeks, and Caleb's greasy mustache close-up! The best sleeps happen on study abroad bus rides, and on the mission. You are constantly exhausted and you wound up sleeping in very strange positions and places. Please don't hate on how chubby I was haha.... I had probably eaten like 5 plates of paella that same day. Mmm, that just got me thinking about how good Spanish food is. Why not show you a pic of paella? Wow, this has turned into a very random blog post. 

funniest sleepytime embarassing moment: Freshman year. Art history class. I had issues staying awake in that class for some reason... (oh wait I know why.) One morning (mind you the class was at 8 am!!) I just couldnt seem to keep my head up straight and eyes open. I had one of those dreams where you feel like you are awake and that you are paralyzed. After what seemed like minutes of trying to move my arms and legs and not succeeding, I suddenly awoke quite startled and let out a small scream/gasp. Maybe there was some flailing involved? I can't remember. Luckily I was towards the back of class...
