Can't sleep
You ever have those nights? Of course you do. I'm talking to the human race. Well, tonight is one of those nights that I can't sleep. I have a million things racing over my mind. I suppose that's the price for having a busy life. By brother has fought me well with that. Everything costs. While I lay in bed listening to the ticking of the clock down the hall, the hum of the fan in the roof, the swoosh of the wind out the window, the barking of the neighbors dog, the barking of MY dog. The settling of the steel framed house as it pops and cracks as the night get's cooler, the buzz from the power strip filled with electronics charging, the passing of the cars out on the street, the 'hoo' of the owl conveniently outside at this hour. Oye. I dare not move or one more sound of the mattress squeaking will drive me crazy! But Music? Music tends to be the cure for me. I put on something I know. It's predictable. You know what notes, what words, what rhythms are coming so leaving this world of a million distractions as well as all the voice in my head ;) behind and my brain finally gets the chance to rest. What's your cure for those sleepless nights? What helps you get the rest you need for the following day to come?
