I too, am part of the zombie brigade.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I try deep breathing, but many times the only thing that helps is to give up trying to sleep and do something else, even if it's staring at same paragraph in the New Yorker for half an hour because I'm too brain dead to go any further.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.

NEVER. Will usually only go to sleep under coercive circumstances. This day, however, she boycotted napping entirely and just couldn't hold out through dinner to bedtime.
