Ms. Fidget

~ humoringthegoddess

I’ve just about had it with my nightly routine.

I was riding (as well as writing) the end of this blog as I was finishing the experience.

Let me explain.

I was having a hard time falling asleep, fluctuating between remedies such as Melatonin and just going to bed as soon as I started to feel sleepy.

Last night I went to bed at a decent hour.
Decided that I would try Theta Waves Sounds on You Tube to help fall asleep.
Got in bed.
Turned several times to get comfy.
Tried to find a comfy position so I could use both of my ears for hearing.
Had to go to the bathroom.
Returned and try in vain to find that same comfy spot.
Finally accomplish task.
Used my phone to find Theta Wave music.
Made note to self to purchase earbuds.
Fiddled with volume.
Fiddled with position in bed.
Positioned finger over off button so I could turn off waves before I fall asleep.
Made mental note find timer on phone.
Got comfy.
Started music.
Nose itched.
Dog was snoring louder than music.
Laid still. 
Breathed in. Out.
Right leg started doing it’s restless leg thing.
Nose itched.
Cat started sniffing my face.
Wondered why I fidget so much .. made me nuts.
Refocused on music.
Thought of everything but rhythmic breathing.
Started making a mental note of things to add to the grocery list.
Turned up volume a smidge on phone.
Turned volume back down.
Dawned on me this would make some kind of blog.
Nose still itched.
Turned off Theta Wave music and typed this blog on the notepad of my phone.
And there ya go.
No wonder I don’t fall asleep when I go to bed.
My life in a nutshell — or rather is a nutshell —

  1. I commend your thoughts on insomnia having similar experiences.
    Recitation from “The Twelve Blessings” has afforded me some satisfaction and is so easy.
