"when you feel so tired but you can't sleep...."
After a few days without some proper sleep and 2 nights of no sleep I've really learned to appreciate a good nights sleep. And eventhough I am able to sleep again, thanks to some herbs, I am still concerned about what caused the problems. I stopped drinking coffeine and ate supper earlier that usual to see if those two had caused the problem but the slepplessness continued. In order to be extremely tired I did sports, which caused me to be extremely tired in the evening but didn't stop me from lying awake half of the night. I opened and closed the windows, turned the heating on and off and the television as well. But nothing really did the job so mostly I fell asleep at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning. The soft purring of my cat was comforting but as she fell asleep I was still wide awake.
But there's another option, the most common one: thoughts. I know I am a thoughtful person, I keep thinking things over and over again. Until every thought becomes completely absurd.... but I can't remember having anything particular on my mind that night, or can I? And if this is really the problem how can I get rid of it? How can I get my mind off things? Because in all these years I haven't found a way. Maybe I should try throwing stones down a hill as well.... but there are some problems you can't just simply toss off your shoulders. There are things you need to think about, eventhough this might slowly take all your rest. Lets just hope it's over soon. Lets hope that there's a way to turn our thoughts off.....
