First of all I want to say thank you to everyone for your comments on my 100 post. I feel such an out poring of love and support. It was a fabulous experience and a real eye opener for me to do and also I loved reading all of yours. I feel like I’ve gained a bunch of new friends over night. 🙂
Ok now on with my story….
I had just put dinner in the oven when Adam showed up. I knew we had an hour to kill before we ate and a driveway filling up with snow by the minute (it snowed from 9am-9pm yesterday) so I talked Adam into shoveling the driveway together. We got in our snow gear and headed out. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I love how quiet the snow makes everything. We got both our driveways and our neighbor’s driveway done in under an hour…nice. As we went inside I started feeling sick to my stomach and seriously tired. Apparently it wasn’t just me. He was feeling the same way. Immediately I was fearful we both had that dreaded flu.
So we went to our room to lay down, of course the girls followed us. I leaned over at him, who looked ready to fall asleep at any moment and said, “don’t leave me”. He started laughing, but I was totally serious. The night before he went to bed at 7:15pm and I was left to get the girls to bed. Lucky for me I was able to get them down at 7:30pm so no big whoop. Well I was in no mood to do this on my own tonight, plus dinner was in the oven cooking. After much pleading we both got up, had dinner, cleaned the kitchen, put a movie on in the basement, and proceeded to lay down again. This time our relaxation was disturbed by the children…nothing new for us. So we both got up to have prayers, brush teeth, and get everyone off to bed.
Then once again we laid down to actually sleep this time…it’s 7:40pm. We turned on the tv just to drowned out the day. Adam is quickly asleep, but I’m up enough to watch the office which was brand new. Suddenly Adam gets up. He can’t sleep and heads to his hot tub. He claims he’s going to “cook the jimmy”. I feel awake as well so I decided to read my book…9pm. As I’m reading I’m falling asleep. You know when you know you’re sleeping, but you can’t do anything about it. That’s where I was. I was in an uncomfortable position and my light was on so I got up enough to turn it off and move, but apparently that’s all it took. My mind was up and I couldn’t stop thinking. By this time Adam had come inside, laid down, and was having the same problems. I can’t tell you how frustrated this was for us…10pm
We turned back on the TV and watch an episode of Nova. Of course he didn’t make it through, but I sadly did. Finally I turned off the TV thinking surly I can go to sleep now, but my mind just wouldn’t stop and despite my headache and need for sleep I couldn’t let go. It was maddening. I ended up staying up until 1 am.
At 6pm yesterday evening I was sure I would be out as soon as I put my head on the pillow. It drives me crazy when stuff like that happens. Especially when you’re dying to sleep.
Does this happen to any of you? If so what do you do? This seems to happen to me more than not and could use some advice on the matter.
BTW we got like 8 inches of snow yesterday. Any snow for you?
this has happened to me MANY times before. i hate it. although most of the time i’m just staying up too late, it makes me so sad when i am ready and lie down and then my mind won’t turn off.
hope you’re feeling better and getting the rest that you need. kudos to shoveling your driveway and your neighbors!
Yes and man I hate that. All those years with babies when I would’ve been so grateful for sleep…Our aircon has died in our bedroom which is definitley not helping, no snow here, its only around 30-35C (86-95F) here, but boy it feels hot…
I generally can fall asleep quite instantly, but I do have those days (more often lately) where I am so tired, but can’t turn my brain off and go to sleep. It’s so frustrating because you know no matter what, the morning is coming and your kids are getting up anyway, and you won’t be fully rested. I struggle with basic functions and kindness when I am even slightly sleep deprived. But, I haven’t found anything magic to turn my brain off. I usually just end up getting up and trying to do something because it’s too frustrating to just lay there.
No snow for us, which is not unusual, but we heard we might be getting some, which always gets the kids’ hopes up. I hope you aren’t getting sick!
Amy,
So glad you posted your 100 things. You really got me thinking. That was a hard list for me to write. BTW, can’t play the guitar well, but I probably could teach some basics.
Anyway I totally relate to the sleep troubles. Sometimes I just can’t make it come because I want it so bad. You did all the things I would have done to try to fall asleep(books, tv, etc) and I get really mad when I am trying to get to sleep and Nick is already snoozing away so easily.
Thanks for your blog, I love it. I try to read every chance I get because you always say wonderful things!!
This happens to me all the time- or I will wake up at like 3:30 and can’t get back to sleep. I usually try to read myself back to sleep or try to re-locate to the couch and that sometimes works. A lot of the time Linc and I are both tossing and end up staying up late talking until we both just fall back to sleep- one of my favorite things to do with him. If I had a lot on my mind I used to write it down and get it out and that would help. Haven’t done that in a while though.
We got a dusting of snow yesterday- enough to make the roads really slow. I love when I can get my neighbors walks shoveled before they get home- good for you guys doing their driveway!
I have had this happen to me before. It is maddening like you said. Sometimes (and this may sound gross if you don’t like it) I drink milk since it has that tryptophan (sp) in it.
Your snow shoveling sounded like a lot of work, but I remember that silence with the snow fall. It’s so peaceful. I hope you get some rest 🙂
I usually fall asleep lickity-split, but if I wake up early in the morning (quite often because of the kids) then I have a terrible time going back to sleep. It’s so frustrating when sleep won’t come…
We got about 3 inches of snow yesterday.
I love the silence of a snow fall, it is so pretty and peaceful. We have had nothing to speak of. I just want it once, for some pictures!
I have a night like this at least a couple times a week. It seriously drives me crazy!
I, like Michelle, fall asleep quickly, but if I wake, too bad… Yes, maddening. I had a friend in college who finally fell asleep and dreamed that he couldn’t fall asleep. For days. Killer.
No snow here. 🙁
Hope you get some rest tonight!
by far, not being able to fall asleep is the worst. i start doing these horrible math equations in my head, “if i fall asleep right now, i’ll get to sleep 6 hours. urrgghh ok, if i fall asleep right now i’ll get 5 1/2 hours.” maddening is the perfect adjective.
no snow here. although i don’t miss the cold of snow, i am surprisingly missing the solitude of snow.
That is the worst! I have this problem sometimes too, and it is hard to know what to do about it.
That is alot of snow! We’ve had not one bit if snow yet this winter. It makes me worried for when it does come!
Yeah, I have terrible problems falling asleep. I often go to bed dead tired but still have a hard time quieting my mind enough to drift off. I have to say the alphabet in Spanish over and over to finally get myself to sleep. I hate it, and really look forward to the day when I can count on Alex sleeping through the night so I can take a sleep aid every once in a while.
We got tons of snow on Thursday. It snoewd all day here too. We had so much snow. Jeremy dug out the driveway Friday before work (he worked really late Thursday night) and I dug out the driveway in front of the third car part of our garage and the walkway to our front door. Good ab workout! I wish one of my neighbors would do it for us, though! You guys are so nice.
No snow for us yet, its been a weird winter!
This happens to me all the time, I get up to take care of Evie or pee or Dave’s pager goes off and I CANNOT go back to sleep. I HATE it. After 20 minutes or so I sometimes get out of bed and do something else for a little bit, but I am just a lifelong insomniac!
Amy!
I love your life!
You two are too much.
Hilarious! The sleeping thing…
Or NOT sleeping, happens to us, ALL the time. The difference between our husbands & households is that Dan & I don’t EVEN TRY to go to bed at this reasonable hour. It’s hardly ever a reasonable hour when we retire. Dan mostly sleeps in front of the TV. That works well for him. Lovely, -eh-. Maybe I need a hot tub. That would work quite nicely for me, no doubt. Love ya! ~T. …And good, no great luck to you.
