For some reason I've been waking up in the middle of the night. Not an unusual occurence.... but until recently I always just turned over and went right back to sleep. The last few nights I've been up for at least an hour....trying to shut down the conversations in my head.
I don't seem to have a specific "theme" going on....each night is unique. Sometimes a dream wakes me and I just continue on with whatever was happening while I was asleep. I continue the conversation and the story in my head goes on....and on.
It's frustrating. I can put a stop to it if I grab my pillow and my book, migrate to a couch and read for awhile. Then, turning out the light, I go right back to sleep until morning. I wake to find Fenway on patrol....trying to find me so I can take him out for his early morning constitutional.
While I have finished two books in the past week by using these middle-of-the-night hours, I'd rather take a few days longer to read the book and spend my night-time hours sleeping in my bed.
Midnight conversations......discussions, questions and answers, ideas....enough already.
