SLEEP IS GOOD!

Insomnia is a big problem a the Hem. There have been many nights when we found ourselves tossing and turning instead of sleeping. As with any problem, it's easier to cope when you realize you're in good company. Let us look at some famous insomniacs who have also felt the pain of a night without rest.

Vincent Van Gogh- Used lots of camphor to cure his insomnia. Little did he know that his large doses of camphor were well..... highly poisonous.

Groucho Marx- Called strangers up in the middle of the night to insult them during his bouts of insomnia.

Judy Garland- Garland's addiction to diet pills (aka speed) caused this beautiful star lack of sleep.

Marlene Dietrich- Ate onion and sardine sandwiches on rye to combat insomnia.

Alexandre Dumas- Went for walks at night to catch some Zs.

and our personal favorite......

Tallulah Bankhead- Had gay "caddies" who kept her company and held her hand until she slept. YOU GO GIRL!
