Why is it that when I could go to bed at a reasonable hour - lets say - 10-ish…I can’t sleep. I laid in bed, closed my eyes, counted sheep, and took some Nighttime Meds - and NOTHING…If I could go for a walk - I would (but it’s really freakin’ cold out there -and I’d have to turn on our light to get a pair of socks and I don’t feel like getting on the treadmill.
I am kinda thinking its not in my best interest (seeing as I have to go in to work in the morning, and get two kids ready for school) to have a margarita (although I don’t think we have any mix, so it’d just be the tequila…wonder if tequila and OJ is good, or Tequila and Crangrape juice…. hmmmmm probably not a good idea to mix alcohol with the meds, will have to leave that to another day…crangrape it is… yesh…
I’d read - but I have nothing to read - children’s books - that’s all we have. I’d work on a crafty type project, but I’m not really in the mood for that. It’s like, I need to do something before I call it a day - and I don’t know what I forgot to do. - Know what I mean?
So what do you do when you can’t sleep? I guess I blog.

When I can’t sleep I use the time to ruminate about writing projects, blog and otherwise.

I usually get on the computer to blog or surf. Sometimes I just need a snack and that will do the trick.
Tequila and o.j. with a little grenadine is a Tequila Sunrise.

I have not had a sleeping prblem in years, but sometimes I mentally review what is in my closet, choose my clothes for the next day and before I know it I have drifted off to sleep, sounds goofy, but it works.

Huh? What do you mean “when I cannot sleep?” I am asleep within five minutes of my head hitting the pillow no matter the time day or night. It has always been so. The End.

Hmm… my comment seemed a little smug… perhaps I should explain the state of sleep deprivation that I have operated under for lo, these past six years. Likely most of my life has been an experiment in lack of sleep. I am the only person I have met who is able to sleep while on a Meth bender.
I. NEED. MORE. SLEEP!

When I can’t sleep, I usually play some solitaire on the computer or read some blogs.
Or I just take my Ativan and count sheep until I fall asleep hahaha

I blog a lot too when I can’t sleep (usually because I have something on my mind). But lately I’ve been falling asleep before I go to bed because I’m exhausted!
