The best way to fall asleep is to stop breathing

Take it from the experts.  When Liam is not doped up, she's complaining.  That's how the night was.  There are two possible strategies to take:
1.  To be right next to her, console her, pet her, read her a story - hope she'd calm down.
2.  Ignore her.  Much the same as you let a stubborn crying baby  cry herself to sleep.  I'm laying awake in my bed and she'd complain OOOOWWWW, and "I don't feel well", and "it hurts".  But gradually the g a p s     i n     b  t  w   e   e   n    the complaining grow larger and larger - until silence.  But, the ultimate sign that she's finally asleep, is that the breathing count monitor alarm goes off.  Ahhhh, I think to myself as sweet sleep takes over me, she's not breathing again, that means she's asleep.....and I'm drifting off to sleep....how ironic.
