You know how when you're trying to get to sleep and you can't...

But then you turn to the other side and you IMMEDIATELY know that you WILL fall asleep that way because you found the right position...

There should be a word for that!

When you have something stuck between your teeth and there isn't any floss or a toothpick to be found. You try everything you can think of to get it out, but it won't budge. You work it with your tongue even trying to force air through the space and still it won't budge. Then your talking to someone and like magic it loosens up and comes out.

There should be a word for that!
