Well, actually the... the trick to falling asleep is to trying to stay awake.
See, when my mother
was an intern she use to work late through the night, sleep through the day.
So the only time we ever got to talk about anything was when she'd get home.
So what'd I'd, I used to do, I used to lie in my bed and try to stay awake as long as I could.
But it never worked. 'Cause, cause the harder I tried, the faster I'd fall asleep. (pause) Funny thing is sometimes she'd come home early. I'd pretend to be asleep.
She'd stand in the doorway looking at me, and I'd keep my eyes shut. And I knew she just wanted to find out about my day.
So she came home early, just to talk to me. I still wouldn't move I'd still pretend to just be asleep. I don't know why I did that...
