Help! I Can’t Sleep!
Insomnia sucks.
It’s been going on for about two weeks now. I am totally in the grips of insomnia and it’s making me bananas. I stare at the ceiling at night, toss and turn, and generally suffer until the alarm goes off. Alana says it’s because it's staying lighter later. But I have my lavender-scented sleep mask, so I don’t think that’s it. I've tried drinking warm milk, I've tried drinking room-temperature scotch, and I've tried not drinking anything whatsoever, all to no avail.
Yesterday I was so tired that while standing in the shower I found my mind drifting off and thought about Jack Nicholson in “The Shining.” Look what insomnia (and the occasional demonic possession) did to him! I found myself sympathizing with him. When you start sympathizing with the killer in the movie, you realize you may have a problem.
Ever wrestle with insomnia? What did you do? Leave me a comment below!
