Get yourself some of this. It's a traditional herbal remedy for various anxiety related disorders. like work stress. and inability to sleep. or truly chill out and be in the moment.

it's been working great for me. it has curtailed my OCD. and i feel relaxed.
edit: While you may feel well adjusted. and content in general. something like this could help your subconcious to quieten down whilst you sleep.relieving whatever noise is causing you to "fidget" or keep busy in your sleep.

perhaps a local asian pharmacy near you has it?

A lad said to me today that he doesn't like Sound Garden. because of the lead singers voice. and he likes Nirvana better.
what is wrong with kids these days???!!!!!

One of my coworkers, a man of about 30, just learned that Sting was lead singer of the Police.

Sting sucks, I don't get why he is famous.

The Police were great, especially their first couple of albums. Their ska-infused pop rock was pretty revolutionary at the time.

who did he think Sting was? the 'i want my mtv' guy? the dude from Dune? hmmm...

Dream of the Blue Turtles came out before this guy was born. I'm pretty sure that to anyone under 40 he's in the same mental category as Michael Buble.

I doubt he thinks of him as "the dude from Dune" unless he's into mediocre science fiction movies.

I chose a terrible god damned password.

The password rules changed and it took me several attempts to choose one that works (because the windows dialog doesn't actually tell you the rules...it just tells you that you've broken one). I ended up with something that is hard to type fast...it is committed to muscle memory, but I think I end up holding the shift key for a fraction of a second too long.

I type this thing wrong multiple times a day despite the fact that I have been using it since November.

Due for a change soon...going to have to think more carefully about this.

We went to a new password policy recently, and I was pulling my hair out trying to find one that I can remember and meets the new requirements: 16 characters, must have at least one special character, and you can't reuse special characters for a year. In the end I called our help desk and they explained the new requirements to me.

I hope like hell that at least they pushed out the time-to-expiration.

That's on top of the multi-level two factor authentication that we have. One of our most critical systems has its own 2-factor autheitcation, so by the time I reach it I've 1) logged into the VPN, entering my 16+ character password and authentication token; 2) logged into the network, with password and token; 3) logged into the critical system with my network password, a fob-generated password, and a token. At that point I'm 6 factors deep and have entered at least 48 characters and 3 tokens, using my keyboard, phone and fob. Even then, they've added a new level of audit trail, so if I make any changes in that system I have to open a related case and submit it for approval.

It's a colossal PITA.
