Sleeping? Yes, please!

I hear that sleeping is a huge, ginormous part of getting healthy.  I hear that establishing a regular sleep pattern helps with this whole process.  Yeah... I hear a lot!  This is one area that I can't seem to get the hang of!  The sleeping during the night and being awake during the day thing.  Maybe I am just a backwards type of gal (Really, this statement shocks you?  Really?)  It seems that I get my best sleep during the hours of 8 am and 3 pm.  This is counter productive since, you know, life happens during the day!  Nothing is open when I am awake, so I can't run my errands or anything.  You are probably asking your self "What on EARTH does she do all bloody night?"  Well, I watch A LOT of bad tv and PSAs.  When I was younger, I had NO problems sleeping.  None whatsoever!  I could sleep with the best of 'em!  Rip Van Winkle had nothin' on me!  Now, I am just begging the Sandman to pay me a visit!  Just like everything else, this too will take time.  I have to remember that.  I didn't get this way overnight, it is going to take awhile to get it changed...
Please Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream!!!!!

    I feel for you. I'm sure a good deal of your night (other than the more than exciting infomercials and crappy TV) is the daily checking of the clock! I HATE that. Gee, now it's 2:00 a.m., now it's 2:05 a.m. and I have to get up in 4 hours. Why can't I sleep...oh look, something shiny on TV. Wait..what time is it again? 3:02 a.m. - I wonder how that movie will end....just 5 more minutes. Crap! I have to get up in 2 and a half hours. And so on....

    Dear sweet Kel ~
    you make it sound funny, but I know it's no joke. God has promised his people sleep. Can't remember the exact quotes right now, but they're somewhere in the Psalms.
    Perhaps when you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tonight you could grab a concordance (online even!), find those verses and remind God (nicely, of course) that those are his words, not yours and so would he please honor them.

    love and hugs
