Everyone’s talking about Stimulus these days and whether or not it will work.

In sleep medicine, we have a treatment technique known as Stimulus Control, which refers to the specific plan of not going to bed until you’re sleepy. In other words the way to avoid insomnia is to stay away from the bedroom until you feel genuine sleepiness that will put you fast asleep.

On a lighter side, I wonder whether we need a little Stimulus “Control” in our government. The government imagines that more stimulus will restore the economy, but that’s like telling an insomniac, spend more time in bed and you’ll get more sleep, which actually causes more insomnia. In this case, spending more money is guaranteed to stimulate our debt and deficit, but I think we’re all beginning to wonder just how good that is for the economy.

So, Mr.President, how about a little Stimulus “Control.”
