{insomnia} All The Things I Did When I Couldn’t Sleep Last Night

I woke up around 2 AM this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. Does this ever happen to you? Man, insomnia sucks.

This cat is sleeping peacefully. Sadly I am not.

Here is a list of all the things I did when I couldn’t sleep last night: 

• Lay in bed trying to go to sleep
• Tried (unsuccessfully) to meditate
• Read the end of a pretty dumb book
• Read the beginning of the sequel
• Edited some photos on my computer
• Took off my toenail polish
• Checked Facebook 150+ times
• Loaded the dishwasher
• Made my son’s lunch for school
• Realized it’s not a school day so unpacked my son’s lunch items and put them back in the fridge
• Checked my email 150+ times
• Looked at pictures of donuts on Pinterest
• Ordered donut-making ingredients from Instacart
• Read a really sad article about Venezuela
