[Camera feed comes in at rather awkward moments sometimes. In this case, it's while Nabooru's in the midst of stifling a yawn.

She slouches over and stares at her camera, seemingly unamused - or something like it.]

Hello kids, cranky old men, potential dancers, and cohorts.

Are you all having a good time? I had a blind date with that Edward guy, and he doesn't seem so bad. He was pretty nice actually. How many of you got stuck with people you hated?

[She pauses to cover her mouth with her right hand and a few moments later withdraws it.]

Hold that thought.
Any of you know of good sleep remedies?

[If anyone says 'a good lay' or its equivalent, she's going to punch them in the face.]

Eat a lot! Then find somewhere warm and dark and quiet to curl up. I recommend Turkey and warm milk and maybe some oatmeal cookies as bed time snacks.

[thedesertrose]

[She simply. Stares.]

You're kidding, right?

[punchtheflute.livejournal.com]

Nope! Works for me every time! Usually two or three times a day!

Poyoyo~ I like to eat before going to sleep too poyo~ It's usually a sandwich poyo, or maybe even a few tomatoes poyoyo!

[punchtheflute.livejournal.com]

I've never tried tomatoes to go to sleep! Sandwiches though, I've eaten plenty before bed. Warm pastrami sandwhich on rye with pepperjack cheese and pickles before curling up for the night? Ummmmm YES PLEASE.

Hi hi!!!!

[She taps her chin in thought, tail visibly swaying behind her.]

Tha ol' lady said warm milk and a hot piece of pie works wonders. Ah jus' went an tired mah self out with dancin' or runnin' 'round outside.

[Oh, hello Riwane. Nabooru hasn't forgotten you.]

Well, at least someone else had a good time.

[She's predicting there was a lot more bad than good. Then she watches Riwane's tail, somewhat mesmerised by its motions.

Back and forth. Back and forth. You are getting sleepy, Nabooru. So very sleepy. Oh, wait. You already were.]

Warm milk and hot pie, hm? I think I'd be a little too tired to do any kind of dancing at that time of night.

Come down to the weight room with me. We'll run you though some reps, work on your biceps and delts and abs and stuff. Fire up the treadmill, do a little cardio. Before you know it you'll be fallin' over yourself crazy sleepy!

[thedesertrose]

I'm not a weights lifting woman, Knuckles. I'd rather lift swords. But I think you knew this already.

[thewunderkind]

I don't sleep much. I never could, really.

[thedesertrose]

Then where do you get the energy to do everything, hm?

[paneldekickass.livejournal.com]

I like to read before I go to bed! I usually fall asleep pretty quick!

[thedesertrose]

Oh?

[Her eyebrows raise.]

What kinds of things do you read?

[darkvoided.livejournal.com]

My blind date was pretty great.

Uh... for sleep I usually end my day by taking a small jog and then reading up if anything's happening in my region I should probably be aware of!

[thedesertrose]

I'm glad to hear it.

[That's three. She's tallying these up now.]

So you read up on home. How?

[She wonders if she can do the same thing.]

[mailcalltime.livejournal.com]

I usually drink tea or warm milk when I can't go to sleep. It tends to work pretty well.

[thedesertrose]

I keep hearing this warm milk is a good idea. That sounds kind of gross, though.

[miracleprayer.livejournal.com]

It seems like everyone else has already said what I was going to suggest. Warm milk, tea, reading...

Sometimes I take a page from Poo and try to meditate. Nothing special. Just staying quiet, controlling my breathing, trying to relax - those sorts of things.

[thedesertrose]

Meditate, huh.

He's definitely more well-versed than I am in that field. I'm not that disciplined, but that's not a bad idea.

[imwrightalways.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm used to sleeping in L.A., which is so noisy, so I've found a couple ways to fall asleep.

I don't do this often, but maybe try wearing a sleeping mask and earplugs? Usually, though, reading or listening to soft classical music will help me fall asleep.

[thedesertrose]

[...... This guy looks too snazzy to be at this academy.]

Well, the getting to sleep isn't the hard part. It's the dreams. Know a way to prevent those? Or do masks and earplugs work with that?

[shootmedown.livejournal.com]

Ridiculously long Miyazaki movies. Works every time for me.

[thedesertrose]

I don't really watch movies. I guess I'm a little foreign to the concept. Although once upon a time I was going to join some friends for a movie night. Except you know, my plans fell through.

[pinkgingham.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, I had that same problem the other day. What I ended up doing was going outside and taking a walk around. If anything, it helped me clear my mind and get to sleep faster. Perhaps that could work for you too?

[thedesertrose]

[Except... The last walk she took didn't help. And she doubts that'll happen again. And if it does, she also doubts that it'll affect her in the least.]

That's definitely something I would consider. Unfortunately, my last attempt to do that didn't go so hot. I'm a little apprehensive about trying it again. But it's a good idea, so I'm glad it works for you.
