It’s My Imagination

Why Can’t I Sleep?

Last night, I was visiting one of my favorite blogs, and I read the author’s latest post Insomnia Stinks and it really hit home. There have been so many nights when I find myself just tossing and turning, unable to sleep. It truly is not a good feeling and the result is feeling so tired during the day that being productive becomes questionable.

I was so tired last night when I went to bed. I attempted to do some reading but couldn’t keep my eyes open to focus on the words. I closed the book, turned off the light, and attempted to sleep. I laid there for about an hour before finally falling asleep. Unfortunately, by then, it was around 11:30.

I slept fairly well until around 5 a.m. Then, I started the tossing and turning again. I finally just got up. I feel so tired. My eyes are watering because they’re tired and want to be closed. I would love to be asleep, but it’s pointless to lay in bed. So, here I sit.

It’s now 6:30 and Sleepless in Seattle is coming on television, how appropriate!

What do you do when you can’t sleep?
