Why do people count sheep to fall asleep?

The cabaret artist, author and expert on human nature Stefan Vögel answers questions that others don't even dare to ask. This time it's about sheep and why they have such a calming effect on us humans. 

It is well known that the ability of humans to sleep through the night - and the ability to fall asleep at all, which is essential beforehand - is declining year on year in the modern population. The clinical picture is thought to have its roots in real or imagined stress factors that arise from a lifestyle that is largely disconnected from nature.
