It’s
Saturday, but I’m here with a Think Out Loud post. There were some sudden
changes in my everyday routine and time has a whole new meaning. Everything is
in fast forward so I kind of lose track of days and hours.
Today I want
to talk about those sleepless nights. You do know what I mean, right? Those
nights that your eyes refuse to obey, your heart races and sleep sounds like a
dream. Well, for three nights those sleepless moments are torturing me and I
imagine sleep like a soft white cloud on which I wanna lay and turn my mind
off.
But my mind
has other plans and I feel like a puppet on my mind’s invisible hands. I sleep
for three hours and all of a sudden my eyes open. A look at the clock tells me
it’s too early to wake up. I close my eyes again and my heart starts pounding
while my stomach feels like a knot. This is not good and I already miss a good
night sleep.
Have you
felt like this? How do you shove away thoughts and concerns?
Oh, please
do share your thoughts.
Have a great
weekend.
As an insomniac, I can relate to this far too well. My sister once told me to just make my mind go blank in order to sleep, but I was just like...a blank mind? What's that?! So sorry you've had trouble sleeping, too!
ReplyDeleteI have to take a handful of pills to be able to sleep and to also not have night terrors and still sometimes don't sleep. I feel your pain and I hope you get some rest soon. OH, lately when I can't sleep, I sing that Happy song by Pharrell in my head and it seems to calm me down lol Don't know why!
ReplyDeleteEvery month I can't sleep at least one or two nights. Three nights in a row is maddening! There have been times I've given up the fight and I leave the bed and watch TV or I hit the computer. I make sure not to get comfortable or warm. No socks or blanket or pillows. An hour later I hit the bed again, ready for warmth and comfort so even if I can't sleep, at least I like the bed again. I hope you find your sleep again or the best dang nap ever!
