Last week I had a terrible bought of insomnia. It started last Monday. I had my usual therapy appointment and I was just filled with unexplained anger all day long. When it came time for bed, I tossed and turned all night, finally falling asleep for approximately three hours before having to get up for work. I could not figure out what was going on. It continued every night last week. If I was lucky, I would fall asleep at 2:30 but I would always wake up long before I had to. I tried exercise, pills, counting, anything I could think of but absolutely nothing would work. Things were piling up on me. I needed to get things done but all I could was try to get through the most essential functions of my day and try to relax and get what little sleep I could get.
Finally, I decided last Saturday as I was driving to work that I would get in a good walk when I got home, do some yoga and if I was still having insomnia that I should at least try to be productive and do some writing, I went to bed at 11:30. I was totally exhausted but I still could not fall completely asleep. So after 2 hours of tossing and turning, I got up and went to the computer. I opened a story I had started several months ago and typed out a few sentences. Instantly, my tension melted away and I was ready for bed. It is amazing to me how all this went on completely subconsciously. I can only take this for a sign.
