The entire ridecamp would lynch you if you did that at a ride since you'd 
have to run your generator to make the TV/VCR work!

I take two Tylenol PM very early in the evening (like around 8:00) then read 
till I get sleepy.  Works at most rides, but nothing works the night before 
Tevis -- I just deal with the fact that I am not going to get any sleep for 
48 hours.  Then I sleep like the dead Sunday morning :)  This year my kids 
made fun of  my "morning after" Tevis sleeping for weeks afterward.  They do 
a really mean imitation of my breathing!  I finally got them to knock it off 
by threatening to bring out their naked baby pictures the next time they had 
friends over (that threat works every time).  They are definitely getting 
their own hotel room next year!
