So, I don't have sheep to count, or chickens --so I count numbers on the clock.... Queen Bee

Many years ago I used to have one of those digital clocks with the actual little pieces that flip over -- remember those? Its main benefit to me was that it made an audible "click" when it flipped each minute. To fall asleep at night, I'd count the seconds in my head, trying to get it just perfect so I reached 60 at the same time it flipped. Without the click, I have to look at the clock and it's easier to fall asleep with eyes shut.  To this day I'm still pretty accurate about counting the seconds.
