Insomnia
For several nights lately, I have had a hard time going to sleep.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a night owl. I have always been wired this way. When I was a kid I would hide under the sheets and read books with a flashlight. But when I finally do go to bed, I usually have no trouble going to sleep within moments. Until lately.
It started a few weeks ago when Jason, Spencer and I were going to the Buffalo National river really early in the morning to shoot photos. That night I went to bed at Midnight and couldn't fall asleep until 2:30. I had to wake up at 4:15. Then again, a few nights ago, I went to bed and just laid there for about 1.5 hours before I could fall asleep. Again, last night I couldn't sleep. I just laid there in bed listening to the thunder and watching the lightning from the storm.
The real problem is that the next day I end up feeling like a zombie. Exhausted.
I don't know what's up with my internal clock.

I wonder if it has something to do with the whether??? I've been haveing a HORRIBLE time trying to sleep...and if you ask Justin, he'll tell you that I'm always out before my head hits the pillow. My record time was 6 seconds and I was snoring. NO LIE!
...or maybe I'm having a hard time because Justins gone.

maybe you should get "organized" like maitlyn does before she goes to bed. it works lovely for her.

I keep trying that... maybe it's because no one reads me stories before I go to bed.
