Title of article I came across while wishing I was sleeping, 12am Monday night.
Insomnia sucks.
Despite a pretty good workout tonight, 1/2hr strength + 1/2hr fast run, a good dinner, and part of sleeping pill I took at 9pm, I'm still awake. I'm not stressed about work, an upcoming race or training milestone. I'm just awake.
I listened to one Zentri's podcast a few weeks ago and he mentioned how, when he woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep, he'd get up and do something, anything productive-like. Spin on the trainer, work on a podcast. I'm not quite that ambitious I suppose. Instead I usually catch the midnight episode of Friends (just don't get tired of the re-runs) and then put on some news to knock me out on the couch.
Well, now I guess I can write on my blog, read others people's blog and write on theirs, and read what other bloggers wrote on mine :-)
The agitating part is that I'm actually really tired. But I know, if I go up and try to lay in the bed, I'm not quite tired enough to fall asleep. If I keep rolling around for more than 30min, I start getting pissed.
News, the nice monotone voice of the news anchor relaying the nation's and world's presumably bad news does seem to work. The podcasts of Meet the Press or Face the Nation are 75% effective when used as directed and the copay is nil.
Good Night (he said this morning),

I usually put on a movie and lie down on the couch, that knocks me out. It has to be the right movie though. Hook usually does it.
Thanks for the note on the thesis. it's not actually done, just passed in. There'll be a similar crunch at the end of May.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. Good luck in the contest for the book.
Stay tuned...
