Driven insane by telemarketers, tailgaters, politics, hidden agendas, martha stewart, and the flying monkies that steal my underwear at night....this is one person's (sometimes) twisted view.
I'd like to appologize right now for this article. I'm pretty sure that this will fall under the "babbling" that i mentioned in my first entry, but i'm afraid that i can't sleep. And aside from heavily medicating myself (NOT an option) this is my last resort... I figure if i stare at my computer monitor long enough, maybe my eyes will become tired and i can sleep for the hour and 20 minutes thats left before i have to start my day... At this point, it may not be a good idea for me to sleep at all. It won't help my morning mood at all, i know.Ive re-typed the last 2 sentences 3 times already and that should be an indication of some sort that i NEED some sleep...But tell that to my brain. My house is spotless, I've washed 2 loads of clothes and made out a grocery list...I've watched John Carpenters "Vampires" twice tonight, I've sent out emails to all of my long distance friends and family members, and i've painted my toenails...I JUST CAN'T SLEEP! I've listened to every kind of relaxing music that i can think of (i even opened up one of those relaxation CD's that i got for christmas last year) and i actually read a few pages of the dictionary! I CANNOT SLEEP!
This can sometimes become a short lived pattern for me, so i should also apologize in advance for the future articles that will enevitably be posted in the middle of the night..i'm sorry that they probably won't make any sense..and i's say i'm sorry for putting everyone to sleep, but chances are, most of you are enjoying that luxury as i type..so, for the rest of you, glad i could help...

I have insomnia quite often. I really have found no "cure" for it, but this may help:

Excercise about 2 hours before you would normally go to bed. Let yourself cool off naturally, then take a shower or bath. About 20 minutes before bed, drink a strong cup of catnip tea (you can find it in whole foods and "natural" food stores).

If that doesn't help, drink yourself stupid
