I Can’t Sleep
It’s 4:00 in the morning… so why am I blogging instead of sleeping? That’s a great question! Occasionally, my mind will be going a hundred miles an hour and I can’t seem to turn it off when it’s time to sleep. That can be quite annoying… especially when I have to wake up bright and early at 5:00 am! {argh!}
Anyway, after lying in bed for way too long and still having no sleep success, I decided to come and get some things done on the computer. I checked my email and found out about this amazing contest to win a Sleep Number bed. {How fitting!} I’d give anything to be sleeping on one of those ridiculously expensive beds right now! According to Sleep Comfort, these beds are worth $3,850! That’s insane! With a bed that good, I doubt you’d ever have sleepless nights! {Unless of course you are feeling “buyers remorse” and can’t sleep because you are sick to your stomach about spending that much money on a bed… that’s what I would do! But hopefully you’re a better sleeper than I am!}
To enter this contest, all you need to do is send in a crazy picture of your bed head. My son has some pretty amazing turkey tails flinging off the side of his head every morning… maybe I should go camp out in his room so when he wakes up in the morning I’d be able to get some “deer-in-the-headlights” with “turkey-tails-out-the-side-of-his-head” snapshots.
Nah, I think I’ll just climb back up to my bedroom, snuggle up in my {not cool and not expensive} bed and hope that I can sleep… at least until my alarm goes off in 40 minutes! Sigh…
So, I’m curious… What do YOU do when you can’t sleep at night? Do you watch TV, read a book, eat a bowl of cereal? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

That happened to me last night! Woke from a bad dream at 3:30, thoughts were spinning to get that dream out of my head. Got up, took a shower, and watched one of my favorite TV shows (which we record on the DVR anyway since it’s on so early/late). I thought about getting on the dusty treadmill, but my iPod battery was dead, and I like to blare the music. Something I don’t think the four children and husband would have appreciated. LOL!

I’m probably not thinking!!
I may be positive (I think I am) - but energetic - sometimes I wonder about that one… So, you got half of the “insanely energetic” word combo right - can you guess which part??

That was happening to me for awhile..I realized..(you know one of those, “Oh my gosh..I get it now…” MOMENTS) I know I know I should not drink D.Coke..It’s a weakness..But, I was drinking it way late in the afternoon..Not good for sleep….So, I completely cut out caffeine (Yeah for me–Plus I just know it’s BAD and CARBONATION–double bad) and now when I am done with the day I am so tired and I am OUT…I sleep so much better..
But, just to wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep…(I wish I had a remedy) I don’t..I watch T.V.
I think too much so thoughts are constantly going through my head..

You know what…ever since I started blogging, sleep has not been a problem whatsoever - I think it’s because I’m getting way too little right now. I hate to say this out loud, but I purposely get up at 3:30 AM! so I can get some things done. Sad, I know… But by 10 PM at night, I’m am about sleep-walking into the bedroom. On those rare occassions when I can’t sleep - reading is usually what I end up doing. Not too exciting, eh?
