[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.]

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.

Sometimes I have trouble sleeping if my mind is really busy or I can't stop thinking about something. In order to calm down, I try to push everything out of my mind. Just peace, quiet, and nothingness.

I've heard some people say that maybe what you think about last before falling asleep affects your dreams. If that's the case, then perhaps clearing your mind will help with any dream troubles? Ah, but I'm no expert on this sort of thing...

[thedesertrose]

I've heard the same thing, but if I were dreaming about the last thing I thought about, I'd be dreaming of a dark-haired man.

I think this theory is falling short.

[Paula just blinks at that. A dark-haired man? Maybe she's better off not asking...]

Hm, maybe... I don't really know that much about dream meanings. Maybe you could ask the psychology teachers or the guidance counselor? I'm sure they know more about that stuff than I do.

[thedesertrose]

I've been considering that.

[She's wanted to ask Bob, but... Those days are history. Unfortunately.]

I'll have to see about one of the other instructors and see if they can lend a hand. Thank you all the same.

No problem. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I hope you get a good night's sleep soon!

[thedesertrose]

I think you were plenty helpful. I'll keep you informed of how things go.

[There's a pause.]

Make sure you get good rest, also.

Oh! Thanks! Hee hee, I'll try.
