Insomnia

I suffer from insomnia. It sucks. I can not turn my brain off and I lay in bed for hours willing myself to sleep. One would think that with the amount of hours I work I would just come home and fall right asleep, but I don't and I can't. Add any amount of stress to my day and I know I am headed for a sleepless night.

My beloved on the other hand can fall asleep on the way to the grocery store. Wouldn't it be nice. He feels awful when I can not sleep and is the first to offer up a nap. A Nap - I can't take those either. So now I have the stress of not sleeping and the inability to take a nap.

He tells me to read a book. I love books and when not working two jobs I can read a book a day. Does not work. I stay awake to finish the book.

How about a warm shower. Does not work either because then my hair gets wet and I can not handle wet hair. - I know I am such a pain in the A$$.

Hot tea? That does not work either.

Run on the treadmill.... Nope.

I have tried everything. I just want to sleep. I sit here in my office and I could fall asleep at any moment, but the minute I go home - bam...wide awake.

For now I'll just hope that the sleep comes soon.
