Alarm set to 5AM, settled myself comfortably on the bed, closed my eyes.
Just when thousands of thoughts raced in my head.
I tossed, turned, and reminded myself it’s time to sleep.
It’s already 11PM I should get plenty of rest. But I’m not sleepy…
Deep breaths, prayed for sleep to come, but no.
What am I going to eat for brekkie tomorrow? Maybe I should wear my sneakers to work so I can walk around during lunch break. I gained two inches around the hips, Just when I already cleared out my wardrobe. Yikes. But maybe, instead of shopping for new clothes I should really just save up for my upcoming holiday. Let’s see, where to go? I prefer somewhere we haven’t been before…Or, for a change, what if I just hang out at home with the boys? I could not spend enough time with them on weekends, and I miss them so much. Wait, what’s the time? Argh it’s already 1:44 AM and I’m still not sleepy. I MUST SLEEP.
Reminisced a good memory. Tossed and turned some more.
What, I’m still awake! Roar. I’ll be grumpy tomorrow. Please make me sleep...please, please…
And then my alarm goes off.
What?! Was I dreaming I couldn’t sleep? What a bummer. Give me five minutes more. Please.
Hit Snooze.
Alarm goes off again.
Pfft. Fine. I’ll sleep early tonight to make up for this.
I’ve been studying sleep a lot lately, and you’re not alone in this. I think about things I’m grateful for right before bed and that helps me when my mind is racing.
