Sleepless in Las Vegas

For some reason, I cannot go to sleep. I haven't actually gone to bed and tried, but somehow I am just restless. I can feel that I am tired, but it is almost 5 AM and I just feel like I can't quiet my mind. And I couldn't even tell you what's on my mind - excitement, exhaustion. I wish I could focus enough to meditate or practice breathing exercises, but lately I haven't felt that I can settle enough to focus my mind on anything. Except Solitaire - I play it nightly on my cell phone and it is the only thing that quiets and focuses my mind. When I am up at these strange hours, I always find some obscure movie on cable. Tonight (or I guess technically, today) it is Niagra starring Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Marilyn really was quite stunning. I am watching Marilyn and everyone else is asleep - K is snoring on the couch while Brooklyn is asleep on the back of the couch. The baby just kicked, he's keeping me company!

Try this don’t sleep long during the day take one nap put the alarm on for 20 to 30 minutes if your still feel sleepy take a walk around the complex don’t take napes to close to bedtime. At bedtime shower, or take a warm relaxing bath, Camille tea, book, or TV not in bed and than when your feeling sleepy think of your nice warm bed make this a routine, because when the baby comes you will be sleeping when he does or you really want sleep at all lol this is what I did and it helped give it a week and see.
Love You
