Carry a wet, four to six-kilo sack around from 5 to 10 pm while your mobile phone rings incessantly. At 10 pm, put the sack down. Pick it back up at 11 pm and carry it around until 1 am. Set your alarm clock for 3 am. Since you can’t fall asleep, get up at 2 am. Lie down again at 2:45 am. At 3 am, your alarm clock rings. Sing lullabies in the dark until 4 pm.
