I see a pattern forming...

[thistlechaser]

Sunday night: 4 hours of sleep
Last night: 2 hours at the very most

Can't function, can't function, can't function.

On the plus side, if the pattern of the last zillion or so weeks holds true, then tomorrow night or the next night I'll be so exhausted I'll sleep the night through.

This is really silly though. There is no reason for me to have so much stress it keeps me awake. I'm not jobless, I'm not homeless. I don't have hardly any caffeine/chocolate in the evening or at night. Yet I lie awake at night, eyes wide open, *on edge*, just waiting for something to happen. What? Mr. Neighbor to cut through the wall and steal my cat? A car to come crashing through my bedroom? UFOs to land on my nightstand?

Dear Brain,

Nighttime is for sleeping. It's dark and it's quiet. We're not at war; there's no reason to have a hair trigger when you're supposed to be sleeping. Let's work together and clear this up, okay?

Thanks,
Thistle

Maybe you need sex?

After making that post, I googled for info about the problem and solutions. Would you believe that came up as a suggestion a number of times? I need to find myself a man!

It is all about the endorphins.

Try some recordings of ocean waves, or rain?

Good luck.

That's on my list to get while I'm off on vacation: A little CD player and a recording of rain (or maybe various nature-type sounds).

And I forgot to mention this before, but I love your icon!
