My quest: to find the world's best insomnia remedy.

Mom always says it's important you get a good night's sleep.

For years, I have been balancing two lives in one day. Hardworking honor student by day, club-roaming comedian by night. This, inevitably, has led to an insomnia so intense, Al Pacino called me one night asking for advice on intensity. Hoo-waa!

As lonely as it is to stare at the clock every night (Look Ma, no sleep!), I'm not alone. Thirty-four million Americans suffer from insomnia and sleep-related disorders, whether from stress, health, or ambitious double-lives forcing you to be awake twice as long. (Am I right, schoolteachers/madames?)

I decided to try to cure my own insomnia by putting various insomnia solutions to the test. And, since I have graduated and become very successful and wealthy, I was able to afford the best possible remedies.

For this experiment, I tried three full weeks of sleep aids. In Week One, I tried various bedtime routines to assure slumber. In Week Two, I tried edible cures believed to put you to sleep. In Week Three, I tried a batch of natural remedies. Some of these seemed like better ideas at the time. But then again, sleeplessness can make you delirious.
