Desperately Seeking Sleep

I sit at my computer type, type, typing away. Before I know it, I’m tipped back in my chair with my head resting on my shoulder and a crick in my neck. “Go to bed,” you say. And I do. I drag myself up to bed and lay down. Then… I’m wide awake… for another two or three hours no matter how hard I try to sleep.


Tried exercise – just made me achy and awake

Tried reading – got too involved in the book and stayed up until 4am

Tried a warm glass of milk – just gave me nasty breath in the morning


So, I either get sleep sitting in an awkward position (wake up in pain), or I lay awake until I eventually drift off.

This has been my week. I guess all those thoughts sucked out of my brain through kid prattle have come back to haunt me as soon as my head hits the pillow.
