of Possets...

[rabidsamfan]

I've been playing silly buggers with insomnia this week, so belegcuthalion suggested hot milk with honey in, and I tried it last night...er... very early yesterday morning and it was good.

Tonight I tipped over at 8:30 and woke up at 9:15 unbearably cold so I took a hot bath with Lord Peter the book, darn it and when I finally clambered out of the cooling water I decided to short circuit tonight's sleeplessness with honey and milk again.

Only I added a smidgen of brandy.

I think that's just about the ingredients of a posset, although microwaved, so I am now going to feel virtuously smug about doing useless research for a story I've already written down...

And sleep. Yeah. Got to remember the sleep part of the equation...

*yawn*

Woohoo! Brandy! *hic!*

It worked though. Slept like a rock until nearly 11. (Except for a couple of excursions to the facilities... okay, I slept like a slightly leaky rock.)

I'm glad that I seemingly found a remedy for your insomnia!

It's freaking cold here, too. Thank goodness for electric blankets and flannel PJs.

And I got bonus points for night sweats in spite of that. *glares at the moon: "Hurry up you!"*

Best bet -- polar fleece. I have a little blanket of same which I use as a sheet on cold nights and it warms things right up.

That sounds brilliant! You need to bring this concoction to Middle-earth, complete with the microwave.

But where do I plug it in?

*reaches for the really loooooong extension cord*
