I take naps during my lunch hour at work almost everyday. No matter if I sleep all night or not, I'm tired. Insomnia sucks big, fat, dirty toes.

Oh Blake- how I relate these days. I didn't go to bed until about 4am this morning. I've been doing this at least 3-4 days a week for probably the last couple of weeks.

I'm stressing a bit right now (lost my job w/no notice recently and just divorced XAH and moved into a new place alone). I'm sure that has something to with it! I just got to find that job so that I can support my new happy single self!! Good luck getting to sleep tonight.

here's something from another thread in the Cafe- maybe it will help!
get ready for this one: Sweet Dreams to those who can't fall asleep!

The music and lyrics to the song "Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral" were written in 1913 by James Royce Shannon (1881-1946). It premiered in Chauncey Olcott's production of "Shameen Dhu" ("Black-haired Jimmy"). The song later became a hit for Bing Crosby who sang it in "Going My Way" (1944).

The live version with The Band and Van Morrison omits the first verse of the song and changes the lyrics a little. The original song goes like this:

Over in Killarney,
Many years ago,
Me mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Hush, now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
That's an Irish lullaby.
Oft, in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
I feel her arms a huggin' me
As when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a humin'
To me as in days or yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Hush, now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
That's an Irish lullaby.
