Why Can't I Sleep


It's odd that I stumbled upon this just as I was about to post my issues with sleeping.

Odd thing about my sleeping non-pattern. It seems I can't go to bed when I'm happy or in a generally good mood. When I'm in a bad mood, or pondering a problem or just have a lot going on in my mind, I go to bed almost immediately. Problems, most of the time, do not keep me awake. Weird.

8) remember mind-body balancing. Lying in bed, starting from your legs and moving up to your head, tense your muscles one at a time, then release. Your body will feel more relaxed, like a rubber band after it’s been stretched.

9) try soothing alternate-nostril breathing. Exhale through one nostril, using your fingers to close the opposite nostril. Breathe in and out; then switch back and forth.


Check out their website if you, like me, have tried to slip into a normal sleeping pattern, but ended up at Denny's at 3 o' clock in the morning, having pancakes for breakfast.

Hmm... another mystery solved. No wonder I gained so much weight.
