pillow/talk

The messy blanket

Tossing and turining all night

An old worn out bed.



Many nights I lie in my bed and do nothing. I try to fall asleep, but I can’t. I change my position to get comfortable- still can’t fall asleep. I lie on my back instead of my stomach- that makes it worse. Then I get pounded by thought after thought, until my mind is racing of things I have to do the next day, or something I can do to fill my free time or work that I have to get turned in on a specific day. Right now, it’s five or six big things that all have to be done in October, and it’s causing me a lot of stress.  When I go over all these things in my head, it’s like someone needs to hit me with a brick before I can get some rest.  I toss and turn, my sheets are all wrinkled, my pillow is folded in weird shapes and my room is either too hot or too cold. But after I use up all my energy, I finally wear out and fall asleep, sometimes an hour and a half or two hours after I first went to bed.
