Sleep

I'm going through one of those phases when no matter how I try, I can't sleep. It's really awful and I feel well wrecked. I went off to bed at around midnight on Tuesday and tossed and turned for hours. I was still awake when the kiddies went off to school on Wednesday morning and ended up without sleep until two o'clock or so on Thursday morning.

I sort of put it down to my poor brain having nothing to think about. When I worked it was easy enough to lie and plan my schedule for the following day which soon sent me off. Now I tend to start worrying about the most stupid things. I won't go there as it really is ridiculous.

Almost half one on Friday morning and I've had around twenty hours sleep since Monday. I'm dreading going to bed but I'd best give it a go. Find a book and be positive. I WILL SLEEP!

Sleep!

Or should I say the lack of it?

I had a busy enough day yesterday, what with bowling and such so I was sure I´d have a good night´s sleep. I was all settled and went sound...........for half an hour! I tossed and turned for an hour or so before resorting to my book. I´m reading ´London´by Edward Rutherford, which is mighty enough to make anyone doze off. Anyone else but me that is.

Two hundred pages later I was still wide awake. That was half five. Next stop computer where I stayed for another three hours. All the neighbours set off for work and I heard the kiddies going into school.

By nine I was sound asleep! I´ve been feeling grotty all day and I´m sure that come bedtime it will all start again. Pretty scary really.
