What doesn't work for insomnia

• reading for fun (E.M. Forster's "A Room with a View")
• three Sudoku puzzles
  
• lying in bed with eyes closed (Yes, I'm such a dork that I just checked my AP Stylebook to make sure I didn't use the wrong lay/lie; was I right?)
  
• watching Hitchcock's "North by Northwest"
  
• reading for work ("Making a Living as a Freelance Writer")
• more lying with closed eyes
  
• watching "Return to Me"

Even though I was exhausted by 8:30 p.m., I caught a second wind and couldn't fall asleep last night.

However, the whole experience reminded me how much I enjoy "Return to Me." I still cry at the death scene and laugh out loud when the ex-priest comes over. (If you have time to burn, it starts at 2:24 but, really, is EVERYTHING on YouTube? Apparently.)
