Negative thoughts fan the flames of insomnia and make it worse, but being positive in the face of a sleep starved existence is pretty darn hard. What’s an insomniac to do?
We laugh in the haggard face of insomnia, that’s what we do!
A 2007 Japanese study of nursing mothers found that laughter actually causes the brain to produce more melatonin. (That important but elusive sleep hormone everyone needs to start the sleep process normally.)
Here’s my roundup of the funniest can’t sleep quotes and sayings only those of us who have lain awake at 3 a.m. can understand. So go ahead and yuck it up and enjoy these hilarious insomnia one liners and let the melatonin flow through your brain!
