When you cant sleep, theres a friend for you in the night sky For a little puppy who cant fall asleep, a darkened bedroom can be a lonely place. As his family prepares for bed, he lies awake and is frightened. It is very dark . . . but he is not alone. Outside his window, the moon rises in the sky. The moon promises to stay awake and keep him safe. Theres nothing to fear at night when the moon is keeping watch. And in the morning, its the puppys turn to keep watch for the sleeping moon. This fixed-layout ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book, features read-along narration.

It‘s about 4 am Pacific now. Granted I was frustrated earlier but this due to having a lot of caffeinated drinks last night. Also I‘m trying to get so tired that I go to bed earlier tonight and get a decent sleep.

melissajayne It‘s now about 4:13 am and I am starting to get tired. I‘m going to try to get some sleep... 4y
AmyG I am usually up around 4am. One of the great joys of being “old”. 😳 4y
melissajayne @AmyG I turn 40 in a little over a month. I‘ve always been a night owl. Just had too many caffeinated drinks last night. (edited) 4y

I‘m missing Litsy so much, but I can‘t focus because I‘ve only been able to sleep for about five hours in the last three days!! Help!! I‘ll take any suggestions...I‘m open...love you guys!!
Plus, I‘ve missed all of #QuotsyFeb19 so far this month...😭

cobwebmoth Oh, I hope you can get more sleep soon! 5y
gradcat @cobwebmoth Thank you so much! I‘m so tired—I‘m all jaggedly and anxious, plus I have huge FOMO! (edited) 5y
lahousewyfe OMG! My new go-to for sleep is a magnesium supplement drink called "Calm." Think Emergen-C but with magnesium. I'm out within an hour of drinking it. A friend recommended it to me after hearing about it from his wife's lamaze teacher. 5y

j9brown A white noise machine has been helping me lately. 5y
DaveGreen7777 I discovered this by accident after a recent surgery but after years of sleeping problems, I‘ve discovered that if I put a pillow under my knees and elevate my legs, I can get to sleep much easier! Hopefully this will work for you, too! 5y
TK-421 Oh no! Sorry to hear about your sleep issues! My husband swears by valerian but it doesn't work for everyone. White noise helps both of us, too. We have an ocean waves CD that works wonders. I hope you can catch some 💤 soon! And don't worry about missing Quotsy- your health comes first 🤗 (edited) 5y
julesG Sleep! It's something I struggle with, too. I have recently started to use a heated pillow with cherry stones inside. I can heat it in the microwave and when I put it on my solar plexus I fall asleep pretty quickly. 5y
gradcat @lahousewyfe That is a Great Suggestion, for the simple reason that I‘ve never heard of it (so therefore, haven‘t yet tried it!) Is it available anywhere in particular? And just being nosy, but is the LA in your handle Louisiana or Los Angeles? Thanks again for the Calm suggestion—you rock!! ❤️👍 5y
gradcat @j9brown @DaveGreen7777 @TK-421 @julesG I love you guys! Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I haven‘t slept since I posted this, so I will be trying all of these in very short order!! Thanks Littens 🙏😴👍🥰 5y
lahousewyfe @gradcat I get Calm online from Amazon. I hope it works as well for you as it does for me. The LA in my name stands for Lori Anne. It's a nickname from childhood that became my pen name and it's pronounced like tra-la-la. 🎶😍Thanks for asking! 5y
gradcat @lahousewyfe Oh! Color me surprised...I just assumed...oh well, we know what happens when we assume 😂 Thanks for getting back to me! 5y

Got a free sample at work and now I'm typing 5000 words a minute. It says "sip or shoot" but I'm pretty sure shooting this would make my heart explode. #crazyeyes

monkeygirlsmama Ooh I wanna try. 7y
LazyOwl I love that photo, you look pretty caffeinated 7y
BookFreakOut @monkeygirlsmama It was pretty strong! I liked the flavor and it didn't make me shaky like an energy drink, but it strangely made us all salivate a lot, so that was interesting... 7y
BookFreakOut @LazyOwl My boss didn't quite know what to do with me! I'm usually the quiet one around the office. 😁 7y
