I'm a semi-insomniac. It usually takes me forever to fall asleep, and I usually wake up multiple times during the night. Aren't I supposed to be getting in all the sleep I can before I have kids? (Which, for obvious reasons, will still be years away :)
OK, here are some thoughts on what might be keeping me awake.
• I'm not exercising. At all. Since age 11, I have been an avid runner. I ran all through middle school, high school and a couple years of college. I also participated in volleyball, softball, soccer, ultimate, yoga, etc. Perhaps my body is just revolting against my sluggishness. I've got something to tell my body: it's winter! This is not the time to play sports. Maybe I'll get some yoga and ab workouts going. Maybe.
• I have no job. Some might think this would mean I was sleeping more. That might be true for some people. However, I'm the kind of person whose mind does not shut down. Being unemployed gives a person a lot to think about, like how am I going to live? Yes, not being able to sleep because of my employment status might classify me as a bit of a worry wart. Whatever, that little attribute is not going to change.
• I didn't study for the GRE yesterday. This goes with my being a worry wart. Also, I didn't exert any of my mental energy. I had a buildup of physical and mental energy yesterday.
So, what did I learn from blogging today?
Exercise.
Find a job.
Study for the GRE.
What's keeping you up at night?

Loud children and money worries keep me up at night. :-/
#2. :) I'm working on that one, too. Good luck!
This morning I woke at 4 (this is usual: heridity) after a particularly vivid dream wherein I found a right lateral strike-slip fault cut through some bioturbation. I can sleep at night but the morning...well, it's getting worse with age. And I can't blame kids either! haha.
Good luck with that thing called life. :)
