Insomnia stinks.

2am and we are looking at the storm. It is pretty intense. This motion I am opposing is keeping me up at night. I woke up with ideas, but I don’t want to be up. These ideas will keep for me to commit them to paper.

In the meantime, I am sitting here watching Empire Strikes Back on cable with Pumpkin.

A bedside journal helped me sleep when my sleeping problems were worse. Might help just to have a quick spot to jot down notes or ideas.

I keep my MP3 player next to my bed and put some of my more calming songs on with a sleep timer set for a half hour...usually helps me fall back to sleep?

Wish I knew what to suggest friend! Hope you eventually caught a few Z’s!

Sounds like a good idea to me. Sometimes the brain needs to offload something just to relax.

Insomnia does indeed suck.

Though I live the flip side of that coin, I’m a hypersomniac. But I also have the problem that, after fighting sleep all day, when it is time to go to bed, sometimes my brain decides its time to wake up and be active. I hear insomniacs are the same way in that you can’t sleep but you’re always tires. So as someone whose always tired but sometimes can’t sleep, I feel for you.

Ive found the best thing to put me to sleep is watching Bob Ross. In fact I did this last night, I had a bit of anxiety about flying to San Diego today for this new test I’m going to be conducting. So I put this on, minimum screen brightness, volume barely audible :

Well, if you're not going to sleep you might as well enjoy the relaxing sound of the Beast of Turin.

If you haven’t watch season two of True detective. Good late night viewing and relevant to your locale.
