From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Home Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...
I guess I had sleep on the mind this week, too. There was a big push back in the day to efficiently use up all your time, and one could easily claim sleeping was wasting a lot of time. So this brief sketch was born. I guess PHC was sleeping when they read it because they passed on it. Oh, well.
SLEEP-TRAINING
SS: What's the matter, Tim?
TM: I'm just exhausted. I work all day, help keep house at night and then volunteer all weekend. I'm overweight and my doctor says I need to exercise more, but there are only so many hours in the day.
SS: I had the same problem until I learned about the Sleep-training program.
TM; What's that?
AN: Sleep-training is the patent pending method of exercise that let's you get the work-out you want without losing the sleep you need. With our amazing hypno-disc, a DVD which re-programs your brain so that you'll begin sleepwalking. And once you're sleepwalking, you can sleep-jog, sleep-aroebics, or sleep-free weights and still wake up refreshed! And in no time.
SS: Hi, Tim, you look great. Tim? Tim?
GY: Sh. He's sleepwalking.
GK: It's the Sleep-Training method of physical training. Turn your sleepwalking into sleep powerwalking.
