Insomnia Struck

Couldn't go to sleep last night. Went to bed at 11:00 and for some reason felt really sick and tense. After lying there for about 40 minutes I gave up, got up, and started playing my Nintendo DS.

This did not help things.

I periodically lay back down to try to get back to sleep again, and then got up again. During all this time, Boyfriend slept like a rock beside me. (He's no longer sick, by the way).

Also chatted on line with G, who is in China and so is also not asleep. After 2:30 AM, time just started zooming by as it always does when it gets late at night. Before I knew it, it was 4 AM.

Boyfriend woke up. "Are you okay? You are still not asleep?"

We were both hungry, so went downstairs and brought up some dumplings that I boiled earlier that night. Very yummy.

After that, we talked and cuddled for a while, and I began feeling very relaxed. I was able to go to sleep, circa 4:30 AM.

Feel surprisingly okay this morning when I woke up. Actually have more energy than some other days when I slept 9 hours.
