Why can’t Chinese people fall asleep by counting sheep when they suffer from insomnia?
Thread Content
Counting sheep is a practice originating among foreigners, as the word for sheep, \"sheep\", sounds similar to the word for sleeping, \"sleep\"; one should instead count dumplings
You are so talented, so talented, so talented.
It turns out I miscalculated; I should count dumplings instead to fall asleep quickly, so as not to feel hungrier the more I count.
It seems I really should count the dumplings before going to bed
I don’t think so. You did eat dinner after all

As they count, it becomes: one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, Pleasant Goat, Lazy Goat, little sheep, fat little sheep, mutton balls, mutton slices, mutton rolls, Haidilao, shrimp paste, dumplings with eggs, fish floss, fish tofu, sesame paste, seafood sauce, satay sauce, beef tendon balls, prawns, frozen tofu, dried tofu, lettuce rolls, cilantro rolls, large kidneys, mutton skewers, mutton tendons, chicken hearts, tendon meat, roasted leeks. . . . Damn! There are too many to count! What the fuck am I still sleeping for?! Let’s go for late-night snacks! @dlutyj @Sammy_Wang @Fish_in_the_desert @hamiltontai
It was unknown for some time; turns out it’s like this:lol:lol:lol
It truly proves the saying: when fed and warm, one worries about hunger
Full to the point of being stuffed. . . Have a cup of coffee to stay alert, in case there are too many to count. . .
It seems easier to fall asleep after eating and drinking enough
