    I think about what I have accomplished for the day, what I have to do tomorrow, and what my goals are and where I am at reaching them, then I think about the up coming weekend and why I have no plans. lol

    I think about trying to sleep. My sleep schedule has been messed up. I will sleep for about 2-3 hours and wake up and can't go back to sleep at all until 2-4 hours later, and that time I already have to be up. Often while trying to sleep, I'm always singing in my head and it gets annoying lol, but somehow I just can't stop.

    What's up, sangey? Anxiety?

    yeah, I was wondering if that was it. maybe stress too. =/ have a doctor's appointment next week so i'll have to ask. happened again today. only slept for 4 hours. now i'm drinking coffee so i can stay up til i have to sleep again.

    I take valerian root, open a book (mostly non-fiction here), and think about whatever I'm reading until I can't keep my eyes open.

    I tell myself a story. Usually one where I am awesome and my SO is vacuuming and doing the dishes in nothing but an apron (hot!) Because they say what you think about is what you dream about...hasn't happened yet :(

    I usually just pass out otherwise if I lay there aiming to fall asleep it will never happen.

    I don't go to sleep, I pass out.

    This...

    My wife hates the fact I can lay down and be asleep before my head hits the pillow...

    There is always inboxing, if you discussing it will make you feel better.

    Sex. If I'm tired I fall asleep, if I'm not tired...heh heh heh.

    Or I imagine I'm taking a long walk. Peaceful and I doze off. Unless my muscles jerk and I dream I'm tripping and I wake myself up.

    Usually I think about how oddly disproportionate everything is (such as my arms being so ridiculously gigantic that I can't lift them or my bed being weirdly far from my door). Yep.. :glasses:

    I try to think of five things that happened during the day for which I am grateful. Some days it's harder than others but I usually get to five with a little thought.

    If I let myself ponder life I'll be up for hours.

    Sex. Whether it's lack there of, the satisfaction of actually getting some or how good or bad it was.

    Yup. ;)

    I listen to Zen Garden Tranquility Series on Pandora every night and think about the sex I'm not having, how much I love my dog, how many hours I have until I have to wake up, setting my alarm, what I'm going to eat the next day, and how much I love sleeping and how excited I am to fall to sleep! lol

    I think that pretty much sums it up :tongue:

    Hmmm, I think about all my blessing and how lucky I am to have what I have even though it's not much. :flowerforyou: And then I start thinking and planning about all the wonderful (bad) things I'm gonna do to this man lying next me. :devil: hehehehe :blushing:
