It’s been a while since I’ve been up in the wee hours of the morning. And by a while, I mean maybe 3 or 4 weeks. That’s a miracle to me. Insomnia has been a constant companion of mine for many many years. Many years. And it’s only after a good night’s sleep or several…

Not Again!!!
My sleep routine failed me last night. I was up till 3:40am or maybe 4 not sure. Where did I go wrong? Hmm, I think I went to bed too early. Plus I should have gotten out of bed and did something like laundry or dishes or whatever then tried to go back to sleep….
I wake up smiling when I sleep well
For some reason, well to be truthful–many reasons, that have changed with the seasons of my life, I have struggled with sleep for many years. So, on many days, No, I have not woken up smiling. I have woken up grouchy, tired, pessimistic and oh so tired. During the day, I would begin to feel…

Dear sleep, I can explain
Dear sleep: Look, I can explain. For two straight nights, you’ve run away from me despite my pleas. Ok, I was too desperate. I get it. I begged too much, tossed too much, turned too much, snacked too much, sipped too much, browsed too much, Netflixed too much. Oh wow!, you are right. It was…
One word: Ugh!
Is that a word? Probably not. It’s more an expression I guess. Whatever it is, ugh! No, actually a big fat UGH! I hate when sleep is as elusive as it is tonight. I hate that I get anxious when that happens. I hate that the anxiety feeds on itself creating even more anxiety. I…
Week 12: 12-hour Work Days

3:21 am
I wish I could wax some poetic or deeply meaningful stuff or something. Isn’t there a supposed link about 3am and artistic talent? Or something like that. This meme certainly alludes to it. But Nope, all I can think of is: It’s 3:21am. And I’ll be up the proverbial creek without a paddle in the…
