What you describe is a similar Italian six-pager titled 'Bot mot s|mnl|shet'
('Cure for insomnia'), which was published in Sweden in the first issue of
1971.

As David Gerstein suggested, 'En tr|ttsam s|mnkur' ('A tiresome cure for
insomnia') could very well be one of Vicar's early works. The main gag here
is that Fethry's cure actually works. However, it is a multi-part cure and
Donald, sound asleep, has to be repeatedly awakened to continue with the next
part.
