What do you do when your brain is full of thoughts and plans and logistics and you just can't get it to stop long enough to fall asleep? I've never had sleep issues before but, lately, I've been so wound up and excited about the things that I am doing that I can't get my brain to stop.
Like now, it's almost midnight, I have to be up in seven hours, and I am wide awake. It's not that I am trying to stay awake, but I'll turn the lights out, lie in bed, ponder what's happened throughout the day, and then I'll get an idea. "Oh! How didn't I think of doing it this way? I could alter it and do it another way. I wonder if so and so thought of such and such?" And so, my brain keeps going. Then, I'll have an epiphany about something that I've been struggling to resolve all day long. Well, once that happens, I have to turn the light on again so I can write it down because I am terrified that I'll finally fall asleep and then wake up and not be able to remember what it was that I thought of while I couldn't sleep.
Does anyone else struggle with this? What do you do when this happens?
Now, I am turning the lights out and I'll just hope to wake up to some good advice in the morning.
Night, night, friends.
