Insomnia

With the aforementioned back injury comes another fun thing....insomnia.  I've had cyclical insomnia since I was a teenager.  When you're in constant pain sleep doesn't come easy.  That being said, it sent a president.  Now even when I'm not in pain I still have nights where I find sleep eludes me.  It's not unusual in my house to find me up working on choreography or cutting music at 3:30 in the morning.  It seems to be self-perpetuating.  The more I can't sleep, the more I can't sleep. I'm on my 3rd night of sleeping from 4:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m.  Once I hit the 1:00 a.m. mark, my mind starts wandering to all of the things I could be getting done; Costuming, choreography, answering emails, etc. But then I lay there and debate with myself.  "If you get up, then you're DEFINITELY not going to sleep." "Yeah...but I'm not going to sleep anyway, so I could be getting SO much done in the interim!" This week...I'm getting nothing done.  And still not sleeping anyway.
