Insomnia

I've been having trouble sleeping -- every second night.

Part of it is that I am a night owl by nature. As soon as the lights are out, my mind starts racing with all the ideas and plans and things to add to the to-do lists. As soon as the lights come on, I'm drowsy again.

And in another twenty minutes the birds will start! Then it will be dawn and I will sleep for a couple of hours, but I'll be restless because there are errands that I need to do -- like groceries and dropping off library books.

I've been exercising every day, trying to tire myself out so that I can sleep, but I guess I'm not exercising my mind sufficiently. I need to work on my novels more.
