insomnia!

so i tried to go to sleep early tonight, at 10, but instead i'm blogging at midnight. we can see just how successful that endeavor turned out. anyway, i've been watching csi and doing crossword puzzles for the last two hours. yes, at the same time. i'm getting to be able to finish 75% of the ny times crosswords. that's a C average. working toward a B, but right now i'll settle. i keep having weird dreams. i should try that valerian root supplement and hopefully that'll help. it just get so loud sometimes which is the monkey wrench tossed in to mess up my sleep. did you know that it only takes 7 minutes to fall asleep. the act of falling asleep is actually quite fast. getting to that stage is the long part. oh well, hopefully this time it works.
