For the third night in a row, I've had trouble falling asleep. I'm bone tired, but sleep doesn't come for at least half an hour or more. What gets me about it is my brain has shut off for the night, but my body can't seem to follow suit. The only thing that exhaustion is doing is fueling the apathy. A good night's sleep should help, but I won't know for sure until I have one.

just a suggestion - but would you like to come over this evening to play some DDR? get in some fun exercise and some hugs and see if that helps a bit?

The offer is much appreciated, but I had a few half-formed plans about seducing my husband tonight. ;)

Here's hoping one of us gets a good night's sleep tonight.

Been there, been there ...

DDR sounds about right, actually, or really anything that tires your tense muscles out. Not to overdo it, obviously, so you'd end up feeling sore instead when trying to drift off, but enough that some of the nervous energy in your sinews gets burned off.

Of course, then you run the real risk of waking up refreshed enough that whatever you'd not had enough oomph in you to truly feel will bubble to the surface, but that's the way it goes.

The prior exhaustion and apathy can have an interesting effect, though: if you'd not felt like doing any of the usual things you'd nornally have done, when you get a bit of energy back and some sort of emotional lurch with it, it can be easier to do something a bit different, something that will let you move along with and past that emotion instead of being stuck in it, than if you'd had the energy and interest to keep occupied with all the usual all along.
