The bags under my eyes are so big right now that I could pack them to go on vacation! Do you ever feel so tired you could crawl into bed at anytime of day to drift off into endless hours of sleep. I felt like that today, a walking zombie trying to stay awake as I volunteered, worked, ran errands and ate dinner.
Tonight I will find sleep, after a hot bath, pot of chamomile and mint teat. My problem starts around 8:30 or 9:00 pm when the kids are sleeping and my mind starts thinking of lists and lists. To Do list, Christmas lists, volunteer lists, grocery list and work list. Heaven forbid I also start to surf the web because once I feel the ocean breeze on my face and taste the salt water, I'm awake for several more hours.
I wonder how many others like myself, stay awake long after their body was begging them to rest, sleep. I can feel it now as my body becomes one with this wooden chair I'm perched on. It's as though when I stand up the chair will come attached to my butt. My legs are jumpy from tiredness and my fingers are not able to type as fast as my mind churns out thoughts to blog. Will I give in and go to bed early...I'm certainly going to put it first on my to do list tonight!
If any of you have great tips to quiet the mind for a good sleep, I'd love to hear them. It's been three nights already, not sure I can stand four.
