While my sleepless nights are much more rare these days, occasionally they still plague me. Friday night was a plague night.
A couple of events contributed to the sleeplessness and even my Calm app couldn’t overcome it. One was a totally random, yet bizarre occurrence that I really wish I could write about but can’t because I don’t want anyone I know to read it and realize I’m talking about them. Tallahassee is a small town and one never knows what might come back to bite one in the butt.
The other event was something that I can’t discuss because it affects someone I love. I worried over this person literally all night long. Send some good vibes her way if you’re so inclined.
Bottom line–this post is a whole lot of “I can’t tell you anything.” Weird, because I usually spill all the beans and then some. Maybe later.
In the meantime, here’s a song that always makes me think of sleepless nights. Don’t worry, no one’s cheating on anyone.
Thank you, Hank Willians.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
I understand this. Perhaps a nap today?

Sleep better. I understand, also. Although if Tallahassee is a small town, then the village in the mountains I was raised in was a hamlet. We knew one another by name. Years later, I still remember their names. In my part of Florida, I rarely see the same person twice when shopping in the same area.

I grew up in a really small town in Texas and I know what you mean. I was related to half the town and my parents worked with the other half. Tally isn’t that small, but it’s too small to name names and recount weird occurrences.

Damn. I have occasionally had nights like that, but mine are generally nights when I’m so sleepy I can’t keep my eyes open, except whe I finally get into bed I can’t sleep. Sometimes I’ll fall asleep around 2 and sleep a few hours.

sorry sleep alluded you – and partly for worrying about someone you love – and I did lift them up in prayer –
and hope you get caught up soon.
and side note – last week I slept a bit too much – well not at all too much – but think I had the flu and fought it off with sleep.
get this…
I slept 12 hours one day –
whew –
10 another – and then 6 hours and another couple in a nap
but felt great since end of last week

I appreciate the prayers! And I do believe that sleep is the best way to fight off a cold or the flu. Your body knows exactly what you needed.

yes – and I am grateful to have had the time to sleep –
and one of the days I had to be somewhere at 5:30 and woke a little before 5
and akse dry hubs if he was going to wake me and he said – nope…
yikes!
but thank goodness I got up – and I would have set my alarm but it was around 1 when I took the nap and had no idea of how much I would sleep –\
anyhow, try getting a nice mineral blend and see if it helps you sleep.
some folks insist that “calm magnesium” helps them
but for me – I live on Life Flo magnesium chloride flakes –
a doctor friend told me about the item in 2015 and I have told many folks about it – and I know a different doctor who uses the magnesium chloride as part of her migraine therapy.
it is really great stuff.

but when your sleep is not happening – it could be related to mineral imbalance and look for something with calcium magnesium and d3 and maybe zinc….
Costco has an award winning calcium mag blend too – highly suggest it
