Curse You, Bedtime!

I need someone to explain to me why I only feel like getting important things accomplished in the middle of the night? All my good ideas only seem to pop up at the unholy hours of the night, when every other sane person is fast asleep. I hate going to bed! Hate it! Man, do I love sleeping, but the actual act of getting ready and going to sleep is strait up the pits. It takes we forever to fall asleep at night, it always has! For as long as I can remember, I have been developing new tactics to try and help me fall asleep faster - counting, reciting the alphabet, singing calming songs, thinking of some repetitive acting, trying to think of nothing at all - you name it! But I can never seem to calm my mind down enough to fall asleep faster.

Consequently, I have a hard time actually trying to sleep now. With school out and all that, I have no real reason to wake up early, so I see no purpose in going to bed at a decent time. And if I ever think "Maybe I could go to bed right now" my mind is suddenly flooded with all the things I could get down in the time it takes me to fall asleep. I am just going to lay there awake, why shouldn't I be using that time to do something useful? So, because I never actually go to bed, I really never fall asleep. AND, it seems that when ever I do try to go to bed at a decent hour - even if I am already feeling tired - I end up tossing and turning even more than I normally do all night long. (Man, my husband is going to hate sharing a bed with me.) A lot of the time while I am sleeping, I feel like I am still partially conscience and I move soooo freaking much. 

Minus jumping in the air, of course.

I have literally found myself doing things like this with my legs in the middle of the night. > > >

Basically, I suck at sleeping. But, I do rock at dreaming and staying asleep for as long as possible. 

Also, I am writing this blog post at 1:00 in the morning. This is what happens when all you want to do is binge watch, but your sister has to go to bed instead of watch it with you. 

Thanks a lot, Rachel.
