Because of my fears about the upcoming USA elections, last night I had trouble sleeping.
Whenever I’m distressed, I do what I can to realize that I am not alone, like reaching out to friends who also have trouble sleeping. Because I have trouble disturbing anybody else’s sleep, I posted on Twitter.
.
While other people’s pain hurts, it did help to know that I wasn’t alone. So I finally fell back to sleep.
Earlier in the day of the night I had trouble sleeping, I asked these other questions on Twitter.
I wonder if I’ll have trouble sleeping again tonight? The word of the day doesn’t help.
.
Joan never has trouble sleeping.
I want to be more like Joan.
Harley doesn’t have trouble sleeping either, even though he is a very anxious kitty.
.
I wonder if the Daily Bitch ever has trouble sleeping.
Now, that’s a ridiculous coincidence because last night I also had trouble sleeping because I realized I had forgotten to take my pills the day before, which aways scares me.
Even though I had trouble sleeping last night, I won’t forget to post today’s World Observances.

Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I like to listen to a soothing voice, like Pema Chödrön’s.

What to do you do when you have trouble sleeping?
Thanks to all who are reading this “Trouble Sleeping” post, including YOU.
During my dear wife Karen’s work week, I get up early with her to keep company in her get-ready routine and then drive her to work, Ann, and then I stay up to my usual time. Thus, I sleep less those days. So on her three days off, I find I have no trouble catching up on my sleep at all.
Thanks for keeping me company here, Mark.
I don’t sleep well and often watch Big Bang Theory on my tablet in bed starting around 1 AM. That way I at least enjoy insomnia instead of letting my thoughts chew me up.
I will likely see more BBT than usual this weekend as it’s going to be a scorcher and we don’t have air conditioning. 🙂
I try to enjoy my insomnia too, Maureen.
Oddly enough, I’m sleeping fine, although I had insomnia for years. Now I have a half goblet of wine while listening to a favorite podcast, then take a slug of a Nyquil equivalent, read for half an hour or so, and then sleep. Keeping the TV on low (MSNBC), a repetition of news I’ve already heard, keeps my mind from wandering in its own darkness.
Glad that you’re sleeping fine, Barbara.
I posted about sleeping today as well. Finally retired after so many years of waking up very early , trying to see if I can learn to sleep a little longer
Hope you’re adjusting, beth.
I worry about sleeping too much. It’s important to me to be awake and woke.
You are one of the most awake and woke people I’ve ever met, my friend.
I relate to the not sleeping, as I too am an insomniac, and always have trouble sleeping, that relaxation video was nice, Anne!
Nice to see you, Carol anne!
