Last night, I have no idea why I couldn't sleep. Night before, my WIP (work in progress for you lay people) was churning through my mind. Night before that, a book I'd read stuck with me. It's always something.
Here is what I'm going to do to help myself sleep.
- Count monkeys. They're so much more interesting than sheep.
- Run myself ragged. Nevermind. I already do that and it doesn't seem to work.
- Cut out the caffeine. Who am I kidding? Someone would die if I cut out the caffeine.
- Drink tea. Blech. No.
- Avoid alcohol before bed. Um . . .
- Get rid of the stress in my life. Er . . .
- Try not to think so much. Right.
1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . .
But when you're counting do you not get distracted by the cuteness of the monkeys?
ReplyDeleteI know, they are very cute. Plus, they're a little noisy. :D
ReplyDeleteLiterally every person I know has lately struggled with insomnia. It's terrible! We're all walking around like zombies. Hey, maybe we should try counting zombies ;)
ReplyDeleteB
Maybe it's the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteYAY monkeys! I have to avoid caffeine after noon (other than the one diet coke mixed with rum when I get home *shifty*. I have to physically relax though--it is why I nearly always have a bath before bed. It seems to work unless I overdo the caffeine or have BIG stress.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd be exhausted because I worked so much in the yard yesterday, I took a hot shower, had a glass of wine, yet I tossed and turned all night.
ReplyDeleteMaybe tonight will be better.
I just noticed one of my monkeys are missing. I had three. :(
ReplyDeleteI took one. Because they're so freaking cute.
ReplyDeleteSleep well, my little monkey.
