sleepless

For the second night in a row, I am unable to sleep. And I can't figure out why. I'm tired enough during the day to yearn for a nap, yet when I get home and get into bed I feel like I can't get comfortable, I hear every little sound, and I end up just laying there, tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling and watching the minutes tick slowly by. (I have one of those clocks that projects the time on the ceiling.)

And the worst part is, I know that come 6 a.m., I will probably finally be exhausted enough to fall asleep; just long enough to make me too tired to get up when my alarm goes off 30 minutes later.

I just don't understand it. I've been getting to work earlier, working longer, and (unfortunately) having excruciatingly long commutes home - today I took the 6:45 shuttle home and didn't get home until 8:30, 8:40. That makes another 12 hour day for me.

At least being on the computer is more productive than just laying in bed. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock...
