Lettuce !
As some of you already know, I've had problems sleeping since I was a teenager. Regardless of how tired I'd be, each night I'd get to bed and be wide awake 1-4 hours later. It wasn't stress or anything like that - I'd sometimes think to myself, after lying there for three hours, "Right.. what are you thinking about right now ?" and it'd be something ridiculous like an old episode of Cold Feet or something that mundane.
Nothing's helped... I seem to be immune to sleeping pills, hot milk, warm baths, recordings of conference calls about RUP documentation... Nothing seemed to work except having a paracetamol... and you really don't want to be having one of those each night.
And then, last year, I discovered a cure. Lettuce.
Each night, I eat a bowl of lettuce before bed, and the difference is amazing. I'm asleep within 10 minutes. I can't tell you what a relief this is.
The problem is... no one quite believes me. Everyone thinks I'm either trying to be funny (seriously, could you come up with a punchline to this one ?) or just making it up.
And today, the Daily Mail finally confirmed my suspicions.
Lettuce can help you to sleep. It's official. The Daily Mail told me so.
Read it and weep, people...
