Story. A man falls instantly asleep whenever he takes his watch off and puts it on the night stand by his bed. It is just as if the puppeteer had suddenly dropped the puppet.
However, the man always forgets to take the watch off. The watch has become such a part of him throughout the course the day he has forgotten its separate existence on his wrist.
So he spends hours and hours in bed tossing and turning each night (probably even consulting the watch a few times to see just how many hours he has tossed and turned) before he remembers, in a flash, “the watch…!”
He takes it off and falls instantly asleep.
