Definitely insomnia. I can sleep on a plane, on a bus, but not in my own darn bed. I've decided to count Cotswold sheep in my head. Did you know that shepherds in the UK never used to eat their sheep? No. The meat was not yummy. They only used them for wool. Now they have new, tastier sheep. But their wool is not good. Most sheep are raised just for meat these days. At least they eat grass all day instead of corn. Did you know that to save money different shepherds in a Cotswold community will each buy a single ram for their ewes? Then they trade the rams. The rams each have a color. When a ewe is seen with that color on its back, then the shepherd knows she's had a wild night. She's separated from the others. All the ewes end up with at least four colors on their backs. Great to know as you count sheep...
