Sleep was not my friend last night.

I worked out really hard so I expected it to come easy. My brain would not shut off, I even made it a point not to watch TV before bed. I took a hot eucalyptus bath, drank a cup of chamomile tea and read three chapters of my book.

I laid in the dark for a good two hours with my thoughts drifting in all different directions. It made me feel like I was fading into the darkness.

I finally fell asleep at 1:00 am only to have nightmares all night long. I woke up scared this morning. My whole body was shaking but I felt numb.

So far today I feel like I’m floating around outside of my body. Life is happening all around me but am I really living?
