Sleepless

Have you ever had sleepless nights? Well, I have and it's no fun  watching the hands on the clock go round and round! So here I am at 3:42 a.m. writing this post. Problem is, I don't know what to write about!! 

There should be a 3:00 o'clock in the morning club.  Then we could call one another when insomnia hits! I have one friend who texts "u up?" then the phone rings! 

I chuckle because my one furball snuggles close, crawls over me every time I turn to the other side and goes back to sleep.  Now I know why cats sleep 20 out of 24 hrs...they keep getting awakened at night!

Many years ago I got myself into trouble at times like this when I resorted to self medicating with otc drugs or alcohol. That's no longer an option.  It's pounded into my head now that it isn't the end of the world if I don't sleep for a night. My body will sleep when it's ready to. 

Yes, I will turn a channel on for some white, green or brown noise, or put some prayers on, or music.  That usually works.  Little aches and pains should feel better after a bit of tylenol. Even though my alarm is set for 3 hrs. I don't want to miss breakfast with three friends! And being retired makes it real easy to take a nap!

So, life ain't so bad after all! And look, I have this little post written; hopefully, you'll enjoy it and may find yourself in good company when the Sandman hasn't come to your house yet for a good night's sleep!
