Stress therapist? I needed one of those when I was studying. I actually did some work for a while when I was at university - something my brain wasn't used to
- with the result that I was permanently wired and had terrible trouble switching off. Once before an exam I spent the whole night awake, not worrying or anything, I just wasn't sleepy. Had to go the sleeping pill route eventually.
As far as reading goes, I don't necessarily find it's a stimulant, but it certainly won't put me to sleep. People who can drop off a couple of pages into a book baffle me.
And those who can fall asleep quickly I find equally baffling. Is there such a mental difference between being upright and then horizontal in a dark room with your eyes closed that you can just shut your brain down? Or is there a secret off switch nobody's told me about? Either way, not fair.
