Sleep?

Last night as I was trying to go to bed, a million thoughts were running through my head (he he... that rhymes).

I try not to take naps during the day because it usually messes up my sleep schedule. Normally I go to bed around 11pm. But Sundays are so hard not to nap. Isn't that what Sunday's are for? A day of rest. But my day of rest becomes 5 hours sleeping on the sofa. Which is fine for the sleep deprived but when it comes to going to bed, I'm.not.tired!

So I lay there pretending to be asleep. Maybe I can trick myself into sleeping. I try to clear my head and not think about ANYTHING... which ends up making my brain run even faster. I'd lay there for 5 minutes then get an idea or a thought. I'd jump out of bed and look up something on the internet or change the laundry or start a new batch of laundry. Finally around 1:30 I went to our spare room to sleep (it's really hard trying to sleep when the husband is changing sleep postions just as much as I am, plus the cat takes up WAY to much room on the bed). Plus by sleeping in the spare room I don't have to worry about waking up the husband (or the cat). So I lay there, trying to sleep again. This time around 2am I decided to get my Ipod so I can listen to music. Usually music helps me sleep because I can focus on the music and not on what's in my brain. This so worked! I hung the earphones on the bedframe so I could barely hear it and chose an album to listen to. Last nights choice -- Chicago: Best of. Sadley I only recieved 4 hours of sleep before I had to get up. But I made it, I got to work on time and I'm doing fairly well.

We'll see how the rest of the day turns out.
