Andy Hodges, Baytown, earned a place

includes the names of students who attained
_ a grade point average of 3.5 to 3.99.
I I’m not asking for anything
1 outrageous.
I I just want to sleep all night.
R Fop some reason, after nearly
I 35 years of having no problem
g catching Z’s, 1 suddenly can’t
I sleep.
I 1 suspect it has to do with the
I fact that we’re moving to
I Arkansas in five weeks. At
I night, my brain is flooded with
I questions such as “Where will
I we live in Little Rock?” and
I “Where will our daughter go to
I school?” and “What if some-
I body calls me a hillbilly?”
I No wonder I can’t sleep.
I ’ My problem has worsened to
I the point, that when my almost-
I 2-year-old wakes up in the mid-
I die of the night, I think, “Hey, '
I at least I’ll have some compa-
I ny”
I I’ve tried several remedies.
I One of my old favorites is
I putting the states in alphabeti-
I cal order. Before, I rarely made
I it to Minnesota awake. Now,
I my state list goes like this:
| “Alabama, Alaska, Arizona,
I Arkansas... Yikes! We’d better
I start packing!” And sleep stays
far, faraway.
I’ve tried getting on the
Internet. This is why my friends
I have been receiving e-mails
and MySpace comments from
me at ungodly hours. This isn’t
very conducive to falling
I asleep, either.
So I’m afraid I’ve become
one of “Those People.”
You know. Those People who
have to take something to
, sleep.
r' I»n’f worry. It’s just those
wenderful little over-the-
ft ( counter blue pills called
[ ' ‘Tylenol P.M.” •
" x This really isn’t that bad, is
’ it? 1 mean, at least I’m not one
of those Ambien junkies. That
____ stuff is too hardcore for'me.
But I have found something .
useful at Ambien’s Web site. It’s
the company’s seven tips to get-
ting a better night’s sleep. Let’s
.discuss.
" 1. Go to sleep and wake at
the same time each day.
Um. sorry. People who have
children don't get to do this.
2. Avoid caffeine late in the
day.
I’ve been doing this one for
years now. If I do happen to
• 3 p.m., I get their yummy iced
green tea.
3. Watch your diet.
- Why? Whafs it gonna do?
4. Create a relaxing bedtime
routine.
Does this include clutching a
diaper and an Elmo, nightgown
while chasing a naked toddler
through the house?
5. Exercise regularly.
See No. 4.
6. Get out of bed if you’re
not sleeping.
And'watch nothing but
infomercials, because that’s all
that’s going to be on. Kitchen
gadgets? Colon cleanser?
Completely useless exercise
machines? In a Tylenol P.M.-
induced daze, you’ll be con-
vinced you need it all.
7. Talk to your doctor or
v healthcare provider.
Yeah, maybe he can bore me
to sleep, with some of his old
textbooks from med school.
My sleeping problem hasn’t
been all bad. The other night,
when I was awake at 3 a.m., I
watched a fascinating and very
educational documentary on
PBS.
1 just wish I could remember
what it was about.
Anyway, I’m going to keep
working on this because we’re
moving in a few weeks and I
need my energy for everything
we have to do. Like getting
ready for the garage sale we’re
having soon.
Why don’t you stop by?
You’ll never find colon cleanser
this cheap again.
San Jacinto Methodist Hospital will hold its monthly
Community Blood Drive from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. today in
Classrooms A&B at the hospital’s Garth Campus, 4401
Garth Road.
Donations for this month’s blood drive are especially
important, hospital officials said, because a Type 0 blood
supply shortage for Southeast Texas is beginning to wors-
en. The Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center projects about had
19 donors for the drive but is hoping to get more by ”
offering donors a commemorative T-shirt and triple
