“Från ingenstans en ruskig vinterdag börjar en låt spelas på Soundcloud och bara artistnamnet Solblomma strålar ut behövligt. Det är ett singelsläpp vid namn Ko-KooN People i en slags oskyldig udda och glad elektronisk pop som behandlar det sköna i att kunna omsluta sig i den egna kokongen. Måste erkänna att låten är upprepningar och tål några varv för att gunga till dagen. Solblomma har varit aktiv inom musikscenen i cirka 15 år med höjdpunkten av en MTV hit med låten Sandman under artistnamnet kiN. Kolla in och lyssna på singeln som ska bana väg för ett albumsläpp senare i vår.”

Follow the leader
Wait for me
Sheep have a strong instinct to follow the sheep in front of them. When one sheep decides to go somewhere, the rest of the flock usually follows, even if it is not a good “decision.” For example, sheep will follow each other to slaughter. If one sheep jumps over a cliff, the others are likely to follow. Even from birth, lambs are conditioned to follow the older members of the flock. This instinct is “hard-wired” into sheep. It’s not something they “think” about.

 

 

Counting sheep is a mental exercise used in some cultures as a means of lulling oneself to sleep.

In most depictions of the activity, the practitioner envisions an endless series of identical white sheep jumping over a fence, while counting them as they do so. The idea, presumably, is to induce boredom while occupying the mind with something simple, repetitive, and rhythmic, all of which are known to help humans sleep.

Although the practice is largely a stereotype, and rarely used as a solution for insomnia, it has been so commonly referenced by cartoons, comic strips, and other mass media, that it has become deeply engrained into popular culture’s notion of sleep. The term “counting sheep” has entered the English language as an idiomatic term for insomnia. Sheep themselves have become associated with sleep, or lack thereof.

According to an experiment conducted by researchers at Oxford University, counting sheep is actually an inferior means of inducing sleep. Subjects who instead imagined “a beach or awaterfall” were forced to expend more mental energy, and fell asleep faster than those asked to simply count sheep. Sleep, by the same token, could be achieved by any number of complex activities that expend mental energy.

An early reference to counting sheep as a means of attaining sleep can be found in Illustrations of Political Economy by Harriet Martineau, from 1832:

“It was a sight of monotony to behold one sheep after another follow the adventurous one, each in turn placing its fore-feet on the breach in the fence, bringing up its hind legs after it, looking around for an instant from the summit, and then making the plunge into the dry ditch, tufted with locks of wool. The process might have been more composing if the field might have been another man’s property, or if the flock had making its way out instead of in; but the recollection of the scene of transit served to send the landowner to sleep more than once, when occurring at the end of the train of anxious thoughts which had kept him awake.” (p. 355–356)

An even earlier reference can be found in “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes, from 1605 (the exception being Cervantes substituting “goats” for “sheep”):

“Let your worship keep count of the goats the fisherman is taking across, for if one escapes the memory there will be an end of the story, and it will be impossible to tell another word of it.”

In India, the phrase synonymous to counting sheep is counting the stars.
