Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remind yourself that the more you can relax and feel like falling asleep, the sooner it will be Christmas Day! Get into a comfortable sleeping position while in bed. Snuggle up with pets. Make sure you're warm or cool enough, depending on where you live. Count sheep or even reindeer. Lie in bed and say this in your head: Listen to slow Christmas music and think about the real reason why you celebrate Christmas. Don't sit at the computer, laptop, or iPad late at night, if you can't sleep; this will only keep you awake. Watch a movie.

Answer: Scrunch up really tightly—as tightly as you can. Hold that position for 30 seconds, then relax again, trying to stay still. You will become tired. This is important for anytime you try to get to sleep; but relax and close your eyes.  See some of the related wikiHow links in this article for more ideas on helping you to fall asleep, or visit the whole category on better sleeping. Fluff your pillow. If you fluff your pillow, it will give you something more comfortable for your head to rest on and make it easier to fall asleep. If the pet is small enough to fit in your bed (or wherever you are sleeping), try to fall asleep with it.  It helps you to sleep when you have someone else in the room with you. It will make you fall asleep a bit faster, although if it is a hamster or something of that size you may squish it. If it’s cold, turn a heater on, put on some warm and comfortable clothes, or put some extra blankets on your bed. Just make sure you don't make yourself too hot, or it will be just as hard to fall asleep as it is when you're cold. If it’s too hot, turn on the air conditioning, or open a window and sleep with just a sheet on you. Any of these methodical, centering and calming methods will help to move you out of being too excited into a calmer state, which may help you to feel sleepy. Try focusing on each of the sheep as they jump over the fence (or any other high platform). What do they look like? What type of fence are they jumping over? How high are they jumping?  Focusing on these details will let your mind trail away from the idea of Christmas and will help you fall asleep. "Relax my toes." (Wiggle them for a moment.) "Relax my arch. Relax my ankle. (Flex your ankle.)" It might sound corny but it really does work through the power of suggestion. Continue, working all the way up to your head. Even keeping up the effort of concentration on doing this is a great distraction from the night's excitement. You may not even get up to your head before you're snoozing away! Make a playlist on your iPod "sleep songs." Soothing music will definitely help take your mind off Santa, and lull you to sleep. The light actually fools your body into thinking it's not bedtime. If you watch TV before bed, try to turn off or down all the other lights, so the room is darkened. That will get your body ready to sleep. If you still have trouble going to sleep, watch a movie. Some good Christmas movies that play a lot during Christmastime include: A Christmas Story, The Polar Express, Elf, Home Alone 1, 2, 3, and 4, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Christmas Carol, It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, The Santa Clause: 1, 2 and 3, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a planting site. Plant hostas in the spring. Prepare the soil for planting. Dig holes for the hostas. Plant the hostas.

Answer: Hostas do well in partially shady areas, making them a great choice for planting under trees or near taller plants in your garden. They need soil that drains well and will stay evenly moist. The type of hosta you choose should also factor into where you decide to plant it; if your hosta is capable of getting quite tall, make sure you plant it in a place where it will get ample shade from the sun once it grows larger than the plants around it.  Since hosta roots crowd out the roots of weeds, they are a good choice for use as a ground cover. If you're going to use them for this purpose, however, you need to be sure the planting site is sufficiently shady. Make sure the site you choose is not too windy. Choose a place that is sheltered from winds exceeding 35 mph (56 km/h). Planting hostas in the early spring, after the last frost has occurred, gives them time to take root and settle in before the hot summer months arrive. Hostas do well in most climates and thrive in moist soil, but they're at their best in average or damp soils that are slightly acidic. Prepare the planting site by using a garden rake or hoe to loosen the soil to a depth of about a foot, then mixing it with a light application of fertilizer or compost. This will enrich the soil and help the hostas do well in a variety of weather conditions. The holes should be as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Space the holes 1 to 3 feet (0.3 to 0.9 m) apart, depending on what variety you are planting. Set the hostas into the holes so that the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Fill in the hole with soil and pat it gently around the base of the plants. Water the planted hostas well.

Add the cream cheese and sour cream to the mixture. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Cook the ingredients together for 10-15 minutes. Serve.

Answer: Wait at least 2 minutes for the butter to be completely melted. Stir in 1 package of partially thawed frozen chopped spinach, and 1 can of drained and chopped artichoke hearts. Cook these ingredients together until they're tender, for at least 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to mix the spinach and artichoke hearts with the butter. Add 2 packages of softened cream cheese and 2 containers of sour cream to the spinach mixture. Add garlic salt to the mixture to taste. Stir the ingredients together until the mixture has thickened. Eat this tasty artichoke and spinach dip with carrots, celery, pita chips, broccoli, or a variety of your favorite snacks. If you love this dip, you can also make vegan artichoke and spinach dip.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill a slow cooker with water. Let the water heat up for 30 to 60 minutes. Place a bottle of sake into the water. Let the sake sit for 30 minutes. Remove the sake from the water.

Answer:
Add enough water to the bowl of a slow cooker so that the level of water is about three-quarters the height of the sake bottle you wish to heat. Cover the slow cooker and set the temperature to low. Allow the water to heat up until it reaches a temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.5 degrees Celsius). Open the lid of the bottle. Uncover the slow cooker and carefully submerge the bottle of sake into the hot water Make sure that no water gets into the sake from the open top of the bottle. Turn off the slow cooker. Allow the bottle of sake to sit in the hot water for a full 30 minutes. Gauge the temperature of the sake by looking at it. If small bubbles begin to rise, the sake is considered to be warm. If bubbles quickly and immediately rise to the surface, then the sake is hot. By now, the bottle itself might be fairly hot. Use an oven mitt to carefully grasp the bottle and remove it from the water. Serve immediately. Continue to wear the oven mitt as you pour and serve the sake, as well. If you wait for the bottle to cool down enough to touch with your bare hands, the sake will end up cooling down too much.
