For whatever reason I have been unable to sleep for the last week. I fall asleep but only doze for a few minutes, sometimes an hour, and then wake! Then it takes me hours to return to sleep. I cannot even begin to describe to you how tired I was from lack of sleep!!!
Last night, after work, I went almost immediately to bed. I tossed, turned and cried because I was STILL unable to sleep. Around 7:30 I took two Tylenol PM pills and prayed that this would work. Finally, FINALLY, around 9:00 I fell fast asleep. I opened my eyes at 1:44 AM (nearly 5 consecutive hours so that was GREAT) but instead of getting up to turn off the lights and TV I could see/hear in the living room, I closed my eyes and prayed again, let me ignore that so I can go back to sleep.
Thankfully sleep returned quickly and I woke at 5 AM feeling WONDERFUL! One doesn't really appreciate the value of a good night's sleep until it goes missing for several days. I pray tonight I am able to find that sleep again.
Striving on,
