You're beginning to get sleepy, very very sleepy!
By Diane Michael, Communications Director at The Callan

So I haven't been sleeping lately. I go to bed and lay
there uncomfortable with thousands of thoughts going through my brain. Tossing
and turning for the third night in a row I decided to write about it.
My Reiki Massage Therapist said that if you can't sleep it's
because you're in someone's dream. Even though that's a nice thought - not
buying it!
So I Googled "what does it mean to not sleep"
and choose the fifth selection from the top which greeted me with a ton
of...don't drink coffee, don't watch TV, don't drink alcoholic beverages, don't
smoke, don't do anything that sounds fun to me! Not buying this one either.
Sixth selection down are common sleep myths. Ok, graphic of a pretty
girl sleeping at top - I'm intrigued!
I'm on myth two and I see "don't text in
bed"...well how am I suppose to finish this article without typing away on
my phone? As I continue I realize there's a bunch of blabber on the internet!
Geez!
As far back as I can remember I didn't want to go to bed
early and I would lay there daydreaming about the following day. Some things
never change, they say, but do they?
Can we reprogram our minds?
Of course we can. Just because we've always done something one way doesn't mean we can't adapt and improvise to change based on our needs!
So why can't I change my awful sleeping pattern and why
have I been restless for the past three nights straight and still not tired?
I can change the way I look at sleep. That may help!
Yeah, I'll get right on that!
I can stop writing articles in bed. Yeah, probably won't
be doing that!
I can write down all the things I want to accomplish
tomorrow before I go to bed. Check!
I can get up earlier to help my body shut off earlier.
Doesn't sound fun but we're making progress!
I can focus more on my breathing.
I'm starting to feel sleepy...very, very sleepy!
Good night, cuties!
