In The Hands Of Morpheus

Picture this: You stumble out of bed, fuzzy brained, because you didn’t sleep well last night. There are two choices: shower or coffee. You pick the shower. When you get there the sound of running water comes from the room. Someone has beaten you to the bathroom. Coffee, then, you mutter and stumble toward the kitchen. The coffee pot is in the usual spot, and you fill it up with water before you reach for the coffee grounds. There are none. Thankfully there is no one else in the room to hear you groan out loud.

What I Can Do In Bed To Get To Sleep

In determining whether your sleep problems are really worthy of concern, and not something easily adjusted to with proper understanding or a new schedule, keep in mind that your sleep needs may vary with circumstances. For example, you might need more sleep during periods of crisis or change, or when you are under emotional stress. Many women often need more sleep during pregnancy or their menstrual period; other women might experience temporary insomnia at those times. Changes in your work schedule or social life, a new diet or unusual meals, getting more exercise or less - these are all examples of conditions that might throw your sleep temporarily out of whack and trick you into thinking you have insomnia.
