Yes...It's way into the hours of the wee morning, and I CANNOT go to sleep! I get these occasional boughts of insomnia, where my mind CANNOT turn off! I get into a groove of re-hashing, re-thinking, re-analyzing, and re-playing EVERYTHING I have done during the day...and often times...things I have done in my past...last week, last month, last year, two decades ago?! Then, of course, comes the fear that the hours are ticking away, and that I will not fall asleep in time to even PRETEND that I got ANY sleep before the alarm goes off beside my bed.
I have tried EVERYTHING...and I don't know what makes these episodes come to past...Sheep, baths, books, aromatherapy, fans, white noise, Xanax, back-rubs from my ever-so-supportive (and half-asleep) husband...Nothing has allowed me to "turn off" my over-stimulated mind!
So, I leave you all to your dreams (hopefully, no nightmares), your solitude, your cozy quilts and snoring spouses, as I sit and pray for sleep to find me...hopefully...before I decide to go and browse Zappos.com for my next pair of "dreamy" shoes!!
(Today's shoes--technically yesterday's shoes--- were a black, high-heeled, mary-jane, "new-wave," 3 inch wedge (think sleek and elegant wedge, not chunky doc-marten heel). Surprisingly very comfy...but not enough to bring about any relaxation- inducing sleep!)

I'm glad you are back. And now I am going to Zappos.com. Thanks for the inspiration.
You poor thing. It happens to me sometimes too. Unfortunately my computer is in my room and the hubby doesn't really like me to turn the computer on then. Sometimes i just get into a hot bath and read a good book and then take a nap during the day. Embrace the night. "What you resist, persists" I don't know if that helps. Love you!
SO GLAD you are back!! (smile!)
