The Elusive Sandman

(I truly am buried under all of those blankets AND all the of that fur!)
Anyone out there, besides me, have trouble sleeping? I usually don’t have any trouble being sleepy, but I have an incredibly difficult time staying asleep.
For the last week (and change), I’ve been dealing with a pretty impressive headache. In fact, ten days ago, I made a little trip to my local Emergency Room to try and get relief…no dice. The thing with migraines, is that they operate solely and completely of their own want. I cannot pinpoint ALL of my triggers, but usually the best remedy for one of these headaches, is sleep.
Well, when you don’t (or can’t) sleep soundly through the night, there is a certain certainty that the headache will only persist. Two nights ago, I was laying in bed with an ice pack on my head, desperately trying to sleep. I had not one, but two movies playing various scenes in my head, and my own internal monologue running on a loop.
Why in the wide world would that be the time to go over ALL of things that did not get accomplished from my daily to-do list? How could I possibly do anything about my shopping list for the week at 10:30 at night? And why would scenes from Crazy Rich Asians and Bringing Up Baby, being playing simultaneously in my head?
The elusive Sandman.
Maybe I should start setting out milk and cookies, like I do for Santa, or wine, cheese and crackers for him. My house seems to have been placed on Mr. Sandman’s Naughty List.
I’m out of options…oh, well…
So, what about y’all? Anyone out there have trouble sleeping? Do y’all focus on ridiculous things right at bedtime? If so, why do you think that is? Perhaps, just getting this all out on will alleviate some of my angst. Perhaps tonight, I’ll sleep.
Whatever your sleep situation is, I wish you all sweet dreams.
