What if?

What if?, can be a potent weapon of self-introspection and, as I have discovered in my fight against insomnia, the creative man’s way of ‘counting sheep’.
I have cut back my hour of going to sleep from 5 am to 2 am now. Not drinking is a key, but the ‘what if’ question might well steal the thunder from my noble giving up of bacchanalia. I simply imagine a scenario – What if I won $5 million dollars - is my favourite. And then, close my eyes to construct an entire life. I am usually asleep in an hour.
