OT: Can't sleep

Hi all, or should I say whoever's up at this hour (12:30 est). I have been having trouble falling asleep for the longest time now. I'm one of those that needs (preferably) 9 hours of sleep a night in order to function like a normal person. I can live on less, but who am I kidding, I'm a monster when I'm tired. Plus I get a headache. Poor me. :( And I'm finding that I'm going to bed later and later every night. ARGHHH!

But whenever my head hits the pillow that's when my brain goes into overdrive. And I CAN'T SHUT IT OFF!! I can even be really tired and I still can't fall off. I take sleeping pills from time to time if its really bad, but I don't want to become dependent on them.

And then my Eddie Bauer catalog came in the mail today and a shirt I wanted is finally on sale, but I can't remember which one it is. There are 2 or 3 that are quite similar and I tried it on a few weeks ago (no I didn't write down the damn number) and now I'm obsessing about it and I tried calling but they closed at midnight. Jerks. So I emailed them. Yes I can call the store tomorrow but that won't shut off my head now!!! I'm a real piece of work, hey?? :rofling:

Well, I'll stop boring you with my life and let you go on your merry way, have a good nights sleep.

Thanks for listening...
