Rainy Sunday Night Insomnia

I am dedicating this post to my amazing and inspiring roommate, Tracy. Among her wide range of talents, she is an avid blogger. She does something, and then she blogs about it--amazing turnaround speed! Well, a couple weeks ago the two of us were given personalized cake decorating lessons from the Bishop's wife. Next day, Tracy had pics and everything on her blog. Last Monday morning we went to the Draper Temple open house. We got home and by the time I had eaten my lunch, she had blogged about it. Tracy's been giving me pep talks, so I vowed I would blog this weekend. I have exactly 66 minutes to keep my promise, so here goes!

I have not been sleeping very well lately. Maybe it was the birthday cake, maybe the excitement of my new job, maybe it's part of life in my late 20's, I'm not sure. I just haven't been having really restful sleeps. I had one night last week where I actually woke up and felt like I had had a good sleep. In fact, I must have entered REM because I had a really vivid dream, in which I was dating Tom Hanks, who was just an ordinary guy, and I was Miley Cyrus but couldn't sing, so I had a voice double. Strange, but memorable.

So, I emailed one of my friends and mentioned the whole sleep issue, and we've been corresponding about that. I use Gmail, and one thing that I always find amusing are the side bar "attractions" -the random links to various sites that pop up to the side of the email based on key words within the text of my emails. So, when I looked to the side tonight, there was a link there that made my night! Usually if I can't sleep, I will lay there and try and act really relaxed, hoping to drift off again. If that fails, I either opt for reading awhile or eating cold cereal. Both of these have proved to be hit-or-miss. Little did I know that am going about it ALL wrong!! This ad that popped up tonight just might be the solution to my sleep problem:
