I find it more effective photographing sheep than counting them :) IR capture

Great sheep too Børge.

Meanwhile you and Elsa can maybe try finding your K1 and HP 8 acupuncture points and give them some gentle sustained pressure for a few minutes. HP8 is easy, however the K1 points can involve a bit of twisting, but the end result is pleasantly calming.

I can generally fall to sleep reliably but often wake up in the night. These two points often work for me and I just feel tired and drop off afterwards.

I'm happy to visit clients and do a Shiatsu treatment. You guys live a bit further away than I'm used to, but maybe we could work something out on the site fares....?

counting my breaths usually puts me back to sleep, if my brain is more sttuborn then writing a list and counting breaths does the trick

Colin - I will send my address, and you let me know when to expect you. I have no trouble falling asleep - staying asleep is the issue :)

Actually the last two nights I have had some sleep, due to heavy rain. The sound of the rain feel calming and hypnotic. Another trick is to imagine falling thru a dark universe, but that tend to work best during the dark season when little light is present.

Børge makes spectacular images.
The overblown sheep and the night shot are super!

I had two exceptional nights, waking up at 3:00 staying at my desk till 6:30, sleeping till 7:30 having breakfast.

Work at night is mostly undisturbed by anything. good.

Frank, at least you got something out the hours you were awake. I remember the jabiru night shot. Its from Brazil. Someone showed me the nest, but I didnt care to take a shot during daylight, because I previsualized the scene with the nightsky as a backdrop. I returned the following night and got this shot. The guides now take clients routinely to this spot in the darkness, so they can photograph the same scene. I never understood why photographers strive to get the same shots? So mindnumbingly boring...

I have had issues with sleep for most my life, but found in the last few years that diphenhydramine hydrochloride (benadryl) actually works for me.  It can be purchased packaged either as a sleep aid or allergy medicine, 50mg does the trick for me.  More makes my back hurt.   Strange.  Best part is it's cheap and widely available.

Loving the images :-)
