Insomnia strikes again! Having thousands of thoughts crossing your mind while you’re trying to sleep is really not that fun. The situation intensifies if you have a spouse who plugs right into deep sleep as soon as his head touches the pillow. It also doesn’t help if he’s making melodious sounds while doing so.
If you recalled, I have a CPU that refuses to be shut off from time to time. What’s the best thing to do when you wake up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning but unable to go back to sleep? For the crazy here, I got up, frustrated and decided to tidy up the office. If you think that’s weird, think again! It’s not the first time I’ve done it! Tidying really soothes me. A messy house really makes me restless. After hours of sorting mails, re-filing documents, returning things to orders, it’s time for breakfast! The only thing that wasn’t done was vacuuming. It did cross my mind, but having an angry neighbour knocking down the door cursing in the wee hours is probably not a good idea! I sure hope this is not a preview of what’s to come. On a brighter note, I did get a spanking clean office over it .

You can try some herbal treatment…like passion flower or st john’s wort. Gee!!! I thought kiwis have no problem sleeping…..all the time counting sheep! Hahahahahaha!!!!
CC: I have tried essential oils with some success, but it still happens once in a while. Too many sheep to count, makes for a sleepless night! Haha.

oh… same here, wasn’t able to sleep a couple of days ago. i’m a light sleeper, and i have a spouse who plonks right to zzz land when head touches pillow. and yeah… i like to clean and re-organize stuff too when i am restless, can’t sleep or angry, just to get that energy to good use and uh huh, it feels good,
well, being a little ocd is another reason why i like to clean.
CC: High five!
