Could You Go To Sleep For $5,000?
On the American ‘Truth or Consequences’ Radio and TV show, RalphEdwards once offered a contestant five thousand dollars if hewould be asleep at 2 p.m. on a certain day in the press room ofa large newspaper. The contestant had one week to prepare for this test; during thatweek he could lose as much Sleep as he pleased, or do anything heliked to tire himself. But at the appointed time he was examined by a doctor and wasfound to be awake.
Edwards did not run much of a risk. Offering someone a large reward to fall asleep is about the bestway to guarantee that he will remain awake. The promise of the reward creates an ideal condition for Insomnia. The contestant becomes Anxious to go to Sleep, he begins unconsciously to make efforts to Sleep, and the more hetries to fall asleep, the more wakeful he becomes.

A good night’s sleep becomes for them the equivalent of the five-thousand dollar prize. Such people need to learn to Relax some how their frantic, fretful desire for Sleep.
