After lying in bed for over an hour trying to fall asleep, I decided I’d attempt the famous ‘sheep counting’ method. I closed my eyes and tried to visualize sheep jumping over a fence so I could start my descent into wonderland. However, I soon found I just couldn’t do it. No sheep appeared and the fence was left untouched. I opened my eyes, and gazed into the darkness that enveloped my room. My eyes were tired, so I closed them once again – this was it, second attempt. This time, though, something incredible happened: instead of sheep on a lawn, I was seeing a vast and deserted icy land, when suddenly a penguin flew right before my eyes, accordingly I counted: one. Then, so many penguins started darting before my eyes that I couldn’t even count them all. If this was supposed to get me to sleep I doubt it would work as I was feeling flustered for not even being able to count a few penguins, so I eventually just watched them zooming past me, back and forth they went, slowly rocking me into a slumber.
