Help, Buffy

 As I was finishing a critical episode of season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (who am I kidding? In that season they are all critical), I noticed that my left foot was so cold it ached. This after two hours under the covers.

Then it started jumping.

I eventually had to call my sister to put socks and foot warmers on me.    

This, I think, illustrates a bigger problem with taking a sleeping pill than the previous issue.

If it works,  a big if, shouldn't we be solving the things that keep me awake? The sleep mask drying my mouth or just being uncomfortable,  restless and cold legs. The use of a pill seems like just knocking myself out instead of trying to fix  me.

Buffy never went for that kind of laziness.
