I have experienced insomnia for about 8 years now. I’m not sure why I ever started this nasty habit of waking up around 1:30 in the morning and falling asleep again around 3:58a.m. ARGGHHHH! think it started when I began taking on more responsibilities as a manager in my career. But it seems like the thoughts or emotions that actually do wake me up at night are the smaller worries that become monsters at night like, “I forgot to order the food for that party”, “I have to remember to return those boxes back to the storage closet”, or “when am I ever going to have time to clean my office?” I mean… why can’t I simply make a note to self that these things will all get done in the morning and GO BACK TO SLEEP!!!!!!! Oh, and the last few nights I haven’t been sleeping because the poison oak I got from the hike along the Gorge has been keeping me awake from itching like MAD!!!!!! These are all moments of pure frustration – in the middle of the night. You know those moments when you just want to scream out loud like Susan Powder, “STOP. THE. INSANITY!”
So, I’m curious… what keeps YOU up at night?
