Insomnia
I am failing on my promise to be a better blogger. But I do have a good excuse, or I'd like to think that I do anyways. For the past several weeks, I've been experiencing insomnia. I'm talking true, up all night, haven't slept in days, insomnia. I have never in my life had trouble sleeping. EVER. In fact, my family and friends would tease me about my ability to fall asleep anywhere. I've always had the sleeping habits of an 80 year old: to bed early and up at the crack of dawn. It's worked for me. Until now. I have my theories as to what might be causing this insomnia and I'll share that another time but for now I'm simply sharing this because it's driving me crazy! I spend my nights lying in bed, tossing from one side to the next. I'll spend a few hours on the couch, catching up on infomercials and the occasional 3am re-run of the Real Housewives of Orange County. Sometimes I wake Dave up to join me in my misery because let's face it, who wants to be up all night alone. What's funny is that this weekend I had no trouble taking a short nap in the middle of day... but as soon as the stars fill the sky, no sleep. Insomnia has left me grumpy, exhausted, fatigued, and angry! So, instead of filling my blog with random, sleep-deprived thoughts (pretty much like this) I have decided to stay away from the blog until sleep decides to be my friend again. And Lord, please let that be soon!

BEEN THERE! It's the worst and most frustrating thing EVER. Here a few tips, get some lavender scented candles or any of the stress relief candles from Bath and Body Works, start burning them about about 45 minutes before you want to go to bed. Also take a shower with relaxing scents as well, sometimes I even turn off the lights and bring the candles into the bathroom. Once I get out of the shower we have a no talking policy and I just get straight into bed and snuggle down to go to sleep. I don't do that every night only nights when I didn't sleep the night before. It helps a lot!!!
