Things you shouldn't do before bed...
So, just before i fall asleep at night, i normally lay there in bed thinking. And most of the time its either about art, one of my stories, my next RPG session, or somesuch; something reasonably creative. Since i've gotten my first short-story for my comic scripted and sketched, i figured that i'd start thinking about the script for #2. Well, #2 is planned to be a kinda creepy zombie-fest like 28 Days Later or Day of the Dead or that kind of thing. So here i am at 11.30/12 coming up with ideas for my script, when i suddenly realize what i was doing: i was intentionally recalling all of the scariest moments of every horror movie i've ever seen and playing them through my head RIGHT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP. If there is a list of things that "you shouldn't do before going to bed" this would be near the top of the list. So i immediately stopped thinking about that and skipped to story #3 (no zombies here!) before i scared myself so badly that i had nightmares. I still didn't sleep well tho...
