For some reason I have been having trouble sleeping lately. I typically fall asleep a couple of minutes after my head hits the pillow, and I can usually catch a cat-nap any time during the day. The last couple of weeks, however, I have been waking up regularly at 5:00 a.m. or a little after, and then I can’t get back to sleep. Since I am a night-owl, I am still going to bed at close to midnight or later. One would think that this trend would catch up with me or that I would walk around sleepy all day. It’s just the opposite. I have super high energy. I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad problem to have. I suspect that it is tied to all the stuff going on around here and in my life; but I don’t feel particularly stressed or anxious—just super filled with energy. If this is a symptom of the whacked out stress that I have been facing, I’ll take it!
