I never had much luck with Valerian, but I never did a mixture like what you've outlined. I'll have to give that a try.

Brad, try to throw some L-Theanine into the mix.

Voice sounds fantastic, but the instruments still sound muted and thin. Limitations of the recording equipment, unfortunately.

Excellent news, Joel! The L-Theanine works wonders for me as well.

Only if you only have two or three go to relievers, Paul. The Royals have changed that dynamic with a wall-to-wall bull pen. We barely squeezed five or six innings out of our starters last year. How did our pen look in the postseason? Trust me, it can work.

I thought the Yankees were intentionally going after the Royals bullpen model? Did they not load it enough?

Still WAY too early to come to any conclusions on anything.

So they had scheduled special events during the playoffs window? That wasn't very sensible on their part.

Hmmm... So what happens when they go deep into the playoffs this year?

So has anyone seen this yet?

I thought they were tearing down that hill in CF before this season.

Cespedes ends up being the negative difference maker for the Mets yet again. What a lazy assclown...

Too cool!

I've found that if I combine Melatonin with L-Theanine I usually get pretty decent results. Sometimes not, but I'd say 8 times out of 10.

Yeah, and that makes perfect sense. The "catching up" thing seems to be making me more tired!

Aside from the zero minutes of sleep I got Sunday night, I've been sleeping like a log! Worst part of that being that I'm super tired when I wake up. And it takes me a long time TO actually wake up. And I'm the type that usually hits the ground running the second I get out of bed. Weird.

J.J. & Kai - Israel. Used to have it on LP, but never have come across a CD of it, although I do know they did issue it on cD at one time. It's not the best album from either, but I'd love to have the opening track, My Funny Valentine, back one of these days. It think it's the most beautiful version of that piece that I've ever heard.

2:35am and I haven't slept since 8am yesterday morning. Heading off for work!

You're going through chemo again?

Zombieville... I'm hoping these liberally, but not judiciously, mixed Bloody Mary's do the trick tonight...

And here I am again. Four hours of sleep to the second, and wide awake! At least I have the option to go into work whenever. So I'm heading in three hours early this morning! Actually feel decent enough, but wasn't willing to lay in bed for another three hours...

And there it is... Last night I slept four hours, and then BLAMMO!!! Wide awake, with absolutely NO hope of getting back to sleep. You all know what I'm talking about, unfortunately. Dead on my feet all day. Worst part being that I work on my feet all day (which I otherwise thoroughly enjoy since it's a huge reason why I stay in shape). Feeling like a zombie as I type this. Had intended to take my son to the driving range today, but that's out the window... I hope everyone else had a better outcome today.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that, page... Fass, I'm quite happy to say my sleep patterns over the last week have been really outstanding! Of course, I shouldn't have posted that out loud... I had my worst night the previous Sunday when I cut and pasted about two hours of sleep together. But since then I have been getting a pretty steady 5-6 hours per night. Fingers are crossed that the trend continues...

You pretty much have to as the search function here is almost entirely useless at this point. BTW, read back through some of that thread and the quotes are so completely fucked that it's nearly impossible to read at certain points. The software here has taken a major turn for the worse in the last two releases.

Hope you have a great B-Day, Freef!!! Man, I miss the old late night chats we had.
