So, the past few nights, I have been struggling with insomnia. I think it is stress related but I really hate it! I just can't seem to go to sleep before at least 2 a.m. - my mind is going 100 miles even though my body is exhausted. I have always been a person that requires a lot of sleep so this is challenging my whole outlook on life. I'm praying this won't last and that I will rest in the Lord and have His peace.
It must be sympathy insomnia because last night I also tossed and turned (which is very unusual for me. I'm normally a "head-hit-the-pillow and I'm out" kind of girl).
ReplyDeleteI have always tried making lists if there is something particular that keeps going through my mind. Often times writing it down can help. I also try and reserve a few minutes before bed to sip a cup of warm (decaf) tea and be calm... of course I don't have two toddlers either!
Sorry for the sympathy insomnia. :) Thanks for the ideas - I'm really thinking maybe the tea would help - actually probably the list would, too! I think it's mostly due to being overwhelmed by a current project with a rapidly approaching finish date. Hopefully it will be over soon! How's the moving prep going?
ReplyDeleteI went through this about six months ago - and the list thing really helped me as well. Just to know all my thoughts were down, did wonderings to allow me to rest. I hope this passes soon for you - I also require alot of sleep, and therfore, I can feel your pain. Heather
