I haven't slept well, or as long as I would like to- last night though, I kept goin over and over the songs I know- I played the Martin an hour or so before goin to bed- read for 30 or 40 minutes before turnin out the light- E.V.E.R.Y. song I know kept findin its way into my head and wouldn't let me go to sleep

But, I did enjoy the Martin- I played with the Mitchell (mahogany) most of the day so the Martin was delightful- they sound very similar (mahogany, duh!) but the Martin smells better

- I tried playin without so much pressure on my frettin fingers and I did make a little head way- I hope it becomes a habit, sooner rather than later- so do my fingers

Garland,

Yes sleep very important for health.
Luckily I usually don't have any problem with sleeping, weather permitting the wife and I will go on a two mile walk around the local park, but I've noticed if the weather is bad and we have missed a walk for a couple of days, I find it a little harder to drop of to sleep.
So think a bit of exercise is important also.

In the past 11 years I don't sleep well. I must wake up at least six times thinking about things, the past the present old friends that are gone now. It takes an hour or more to fall asleep again. I usually stay up past midnight hoping I will be tired enough sometimes that works.

A couple of times I've played the rain video on the tv. Twice it kept me awake and last night I slept through it..must have worked

Yesterday I woke up at 3:30am, finally gave up at 4:15am, and was at work at 5:17am, left at 4:15pm. Then went home to work on guitar stuff and talk to people about vintage Yamaha stuff until 10pm, in bed at 10:30pm. Long day!!

ancient1, wow! a 10+hour video- I bet that took all day for somebody to up load!
It does remind me of the Mickey Newbury album, "San Francisco Mabel Joy" tho- there is an interlude between a couple of the songs that uses a similar back ground? I guess is what you could call it- a thunderstorm- though not a violent one-
