Sleep evades me

I wish I had something more exciting to talk about but I don’t.  I have been desperately searching for sleep.  I haven’t had good sleep since Friday night.  After the marathon, I thought I was going to sleep really good but I didn’t.  I spent the majority of the night watching Willie get the best sleep of his life.

I went to sleep in the car on the way home Monday, but that was only for an hour.  Monday night I got absolutely no sleep and I had to get up to teach my 5AM cycle class.  I was hoping teaching that class would make me sleepy.  Maybe that worked a little bit though.

I left work early yesterday and I took a nap around 2pm for almost 3 hours.  It was great sleep because I didn’t even hear the phone ring.  I needed that rest.  I woke up to do some errands but I was still tired.

Melatonin

I went to the grocery store and spotted some melatonin. I wanted to buy some but man that stuff is EXPENSIVE or I’m just cheap.  You can choose whatever option you like. I’ve never done the melatonin thing before but I heard it works.  I guess I don’t want to become dependent on things like this, but I guess it was better than my other option of a Tylenol PM! Yes I considered it but the above argument forced me to put the bottle down and try to sleep.

I'm a #tea drinker! Green, black, chai, herbal...I love it all.

I was able to sleep last night after two cups of sleepytime tea! After drinking it, I started to think about the time I visited celestial seasonings.

I took the #tea tour and learned a lot. I'm so happy I got to do this. Guess who is in a good mood with a new favorite tea flavor? #celestialseasonings #boulder #travelgram
So that gave me some good dreams. The only bad thing about drinking that tea was the constant need to use the bathroom throughout the night! But I did get some sleep so I’m looking forward to another good night.

When you can’t sleep, what is your remedy?

Do you drink tea? What I learned at Celestial Seasonings.

I’m a serious tea drinker! I will go to Teavana and spend all my money without knowing it. That tea is EXPENSIVE so I don’t buy it that often. I do love all kinds of tea though which is why I was excited for my trip to Denver a couple of weeks ago. I made a trip to the Celestial Seasonings home in Boulder, CO!  This is the place where they do everything. There is only one location for this company and everything is done here.  I was super excited to visit this place. I took the tea tour which…

Back from Colorado

It’s been a long weekend but one that I definitely needed.  I’ve been really stressed and a little unhappy with things in my life so I needed some time to just loosen up and have a good time.  The only thing that really sucked about this trip was Willie couldn’t go with me.  I really enjoy having adventures with my husband but this one we couldn’t make work. I had a great time.  I have lots to blog about so I’ll be loading up the blog to get things out of the way.  I really planned on doing more blogging…
