When I can't sleep I usually write or read. Or stare at the ceiling for a few hours wishing the next morning I'd turned on the light to either write or read.

I eat a bowl of cereal. :)

It seems that when I waken during the night and feel "wired" with similar symptoms that a nice bowl of cereal somehow calms me and I am able to fall asleep again. I am not quite sure why this works, although I recently heard that if a person's blood sugar falls too low at night, the body will awaken. I avoid heavily sweetened cereals and reach for a higher-quality whole grain variety. Sometimes I've had a sparse cupboard and have settled for a small bowl of cheerios ~ not a good option for blood sugar levels, I guess, but it still seems to do the trick.

This was a fun piece for me to read! I loved the imagery and its honesty artfully touches the comic elements of life ~ even if it was 2 o'clock at night!!! Loved it. smile

Isn't life funny? I could sleep like a rock now, but I have three kids (5yrs, 2yrs & 8mnths) who keep me up.

When my kids are finally older, my body will keep me up. Well, at least I got good sleep as a child.

I do think, though, that the mind of a writer takes a while to shut off. If I stay up late writing, it takes about 30min for me to fall asleep.

Thanks for the lovely images in your writing!
