Way to Sleep

Hello good morning everybody. Today is April 8, 2009. Today’s weather is cloudy.

April is very busy month for us all keio students. At Saturday of next week, we have a cultural festival which is called Sho-Fu-Sai and in the night right before that we have Zen-Ya-Sai which is the biggest event in this school. Most students except athlete who have season sports are now working on the preparation for these Zen-Ya-Sai and Sho-Fu-Sai things. Someone have musical bands for the performances on these stages, someone like me might have dance performances there or many people such as cultural festival committee are working on everyday’s after school. The third quarter’s exams were gone about 2 weeks ago so we might not care about the study things so much but because of these things we are very busy and I could not sleep well all nights.

Then here is my suggestion for everybody who could not sleep well at night and worry about that. I have just one way to get sleep faster. It is very easy and useful.

Do you want to know that?


Ok, I can tell you about that. At first you got just changed in pajamas and if you got glasses, after you took it off you go to your bed then. You take the blankets on your body, close your eyes and JUST COUNT THE NUMBER OF SHEEPS.

Is it easy for you?

I don’t know whether people in the United States know this or not but almost all Japanese must have tried it before.

If you count the number like “1 sheep and 2 sheep and 3 sheep and 4 sheep and. . . . . . .,” you might get over hundred of them. However don’t worry about that. JUST KEEP ON GONING. Even if you get thousands of them, KEEP GOING. You might be tired and slept at 294,434,436,782,668, 434. But this way to sleep has one problem.

You will see only the dreams of sheep.

But please try it just once. It won’t kill you.

See you soon.
