Trouble Sleeping? Try The ABC Game!

By Jenny Evans @PowerHousePC

I sometimes have trouble falling asleep because I can’t get my mind to shut off and I’ve come up with a sure-fire way to get me right to sleep: what I call The ABC Game.  I come up with a category and then have to name something within that category for every letter of the alphabet.

For instance, Airlines (surprise): Air France, British Airways, Continental, Delta, Emirates, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………..

I’m almost always asleep around the letter E.  For your convenience I’ve come up with a sample list of categories, but I’d love to add to it as I’ve been doing this a long time and need some new ideas.  What category ideas should we add?
