My question is, will it help me get my pre schooler to sleep at an appropraite time, and have him sleep late on holidays? Will it help me sort laundry? And make me care if my clothes are clean and pressed? If it does all that and I can still get an orgasm at night…then god bless Happy L. Otherwise, shut the bleep up. ---
