    Dear Rawn,

    All right! Thanks! I got it now!
    In fact, I now understand that I had the same problem with running
    on a machine in a gym, but I knew how to resolve it. While running,
    the last thing I want to do is to concentrate on running, because it
    makes the whole process very boring and "long". However, if I let my
    mind wander, time passes quickly and its easier to run. Since it
    served the purpose, I rather concetrated on making my mind wander,
    rather than on running. Unfortunately, I didn't think about applying
    the same thing to sleeping :-)

    Thanks,
    David
