Laughing really hard with someone who is laughing just as much as you are

Are there any other things you could use as distractions until you can get to sleep? I often find that if I can just get through for a while, especially if I can make it until morning without si then things are easier in the morning. I don't know why nights are so much tougher, they just are.

Oops! When I saw the place thread with the same title as several spam threads had had and your post said something about dejavu, I thought you had started a thread that was a joking reference to those spam threads (since I had seen your comment on another one from the same spammer.
