I just did a get to know me listing on my site. I like searching for similar posts after my ideas are posted. Nice list and yes, it is difficult to come up with a nice long list.

When I was around six or seven I did swallow a marble (unintentional, I believe I was hiding it from a teacher!).

I’m letting a few of the domains expire, I’ve realised I’m never going to develop them all.
I don’t like automating tasks, I get the feeling that I have lost total control of them.

I appreciate you sending the link back to me Leighann.

Ok, I’ve added mine here. 28 for my 28 years. That was fun!

Oh my, 61. That’s still right up there. The irritating thing is he
has such great ideas! If we were millionaires, we could just hire
someone to maintain them, but with automation, they don’t really
succeed.

Thanks again Dan,

With reference to your points above:

1) Drinking copious amounts of energy drinks and Cola won’t help and I know that, however I continue to drink them for some reason – maybe today I should put my foot down and stop!?

2) I’ve taken a look at some foods listed on other websites and will make an effort to eat those types of foods for my evening meal/snacks to try and help my relaxation.

3) The bathing before bed sounds like a sensible idea and I think combining that with point 5 by reading something could work quite well.

4) My bedroom is always quite cool but I tend to wrap up warm in bed, maybe best if I tried to keep a little cooler myself during the night.

I’ll see if any of these work and will let you know.
Thanks again,
Darren

Oh dear, I’ve had that. Here are a few more tips then:

1) avoid caffeine and other stimulants
2) Certain foods can help you sleep at night – do some research (cos I’ve forgotten)
3) Have a hot bath about an hour before bed. This raises your body temperature, and then causes it to drop lower than what it was. It’s the body cooling down that helps trigger sleep.
4) Ensure your bedroom is cool due to #3 above
5) Unwind an hour before bed, doing something completely relaxing. For me, it’s watching a fiction TV programme.
