I need a cure. There are lots of lovely articles on how to relax before you go to bed so that you go to sleep. They even make lovely drugs to help you get to sleep. That’s all fine except getting to sleep isn’t a problem. I’m pretty much dead to the world once my head hits the pillow. It’s staying asleep that’s my problem.
2:30 a-freaking-m and I’m awake. :[ I stay in bed thinking I’ll drift off again. Unfortunately, the only drifting I’m doing is further away from la-la land. I try deep breathing. I try meditating in bed. I try praying–not for sleep to come, just praying in general cause lots of times that does put me to sleep, sad as it is. Finally when 4:45 rolls around I figure what’s the point in going back to sleep this late in the game.
Needless to say, I’m not feeling fresh as a daisy and this is compromising my normally sunny disposition. In other words I’m grumpy and bitchy from lack’o sleep and desperate. At this rate I’m ready to keep a rubber mallet next to my bed to knock myself out. Any alternate suggestions out there?
