Wednesday, 25 August 2010 -- Day 248 (261)

I hate not being able to sleep.  I don't know how Ron used to function by only being able to sleep for four hours at a time.  I thought getting out my feelings in this blog would keep me from bottling everything up.  You know, the whole "sleep like the dead."  Those who have a clear conscience have no problem sleeping.  Well, I think this blog has been backfiring on me.  I had an epiphany the other night that this blog make actual be the reason for my sucky sleep patterns. I usually write just before going to bed, right after I churn up all my feelings.  It's no wonder I can't fall asleep.  My head and heart are still running wild.  Yesterday, I decided to test this hypothesis by writing early so I could get to bed earlier.  Last night I slept wonderfully.  So, I'm going to try this again tonight.  Write.  Do something less taxing on my emotions.  Go to bed.
