It’s almost 1 AM and I have spent the last hour and a half trying everything short of singing lullabies to myself and drinking warm milk to fall asleep. It appears my wrecked new sleeping pattern is just one of the many side effects of unemployment along with finally catching up with House Hunters and discovering The Nate Berkus show. I honestly haven’t been this off kilter in my Rem cycle since I had mono and spent 17 hours a day sleeping. This has now led me to both blog and Google sleep aids off my blackberry since my computer doesn’t get internet in my bedroom. Among my generally no fail tricks that have failed to work this evening I have tried
Watching Mobsters – Usually anything on History Channel or Bio allow me to learn just as I doze off
Reading – Although maybe choosing a Stephen King novel was not the best choice
Creating lists – Guess who forget to get facial cleanser while I was at Target today?
Listening to my iPod – I figured now was the perfect time to listen to my favorite Christmas tunes since ABC Family continues to remind me that the 25 days of Christmas is coming soon
Exercise – I Know they say not to exercise 2 hours before bed, but they also say not to eat 2 hours before sleeping and that bag of Herr’s Sour Cream and Onion potato chips was calling my name all night
So 15 minutes after starting this I am still no closer to sleep and running out of ideas. What helps you fall asleep? Let us know @2littlecrayons on twitter. My youthful glow depends on it!
