So, to keep from worrying about insomnia, here are five rules: 1. If you can’t sleep, do what Samuel Untermyer did. Get up and work or read until you do feel sleepy. 2. Remember that no one was ever killed by lack of sleep. Worrying about insomnia usually causes far more damage than sleeplessness. 3. Try prayer—or repeat Psalm XXIII, as Jeanette MacDonald did. 4. Relax your body. 5. Exercise. Get yourself so physically tired you can’t stay awake.
