Can't sleep. For the past several days I have been getting up at about 5 or 6AM. For those that know me they know that is not normal. I am a sleeper. I love sleep. I enjoy sleep. I relish in the restorative powers of sleep. So what is going on?
There are a few ideas that I have:
- Hormones: Could I, at 41, be having a hormonal change that means I don't need as much sleep?
- Work: I have a lot of projects I am working on and I'm excited about them. Not stressed really, just excited and I have lots of ideas about them.
- Not enough exercise: Last night instead of doing my new Julian Michael's work out video - that I got in the mail yesterday - I opted for chocolate and American Idol. Total sloth indulgence... but at the time I thought wonderful. The problem is that maybe my body NEEDS more exercise to actually feel tired. Totally new concept for me - not the most active person, obviously.
- Earthquake? Apparently, there was a 3.2 earthquake this morning in Arkansas. Maybe I felt something rumbling and didn't even know it.
Maybe it is a combo of all of these things - and although I don't hate the extra hours it gives me I miss snuggling with my husband into the morning hours... and I think he thinks there is something wrong with me.
