What do sheep count when they can't sleep?

Somehow I have been relegated to sleeping on the couch while my bottle lamb sleeps on my waterbed. At any given time he can be found snoring away on it, head up on a pillow, one leg draped over a teddy bear. Even when he is awake, he prefers to recline amongst the pillows while surveying his domain. Meanwhile I come home from work, shower, and head to the couch.

I read a story once about a dairy farmer who had a bunch of stalls with huge waterbed bladders in them for his dairy cows, and how the cows would actually take turns napping on the beds. He said the cows loved their waterbeds and were producing more than ever so plans were underway to add more stalls with waterbeds so the girls wouldn't have to wait their turn.
