I woke up at 2am this morning and could not get back to sleep.  Does that ever happen to you?  It happens to me a lot.  I usually toss and turn for about two hours and then finally go back to sleep for about ninety minutes, then the alarm goes off.  Very aggravating.  It doesn’t seem to matter what time I go to bed at night, I usually wake up at 2am and can’t get back to sleep.

I’m very careful to do all of the “right things” before bed to ensure a good night’s sleep, but it just doesn’t happen.  Any kind of sleeping aid the doctor has given me makes me sleep the whole eight hours, but then I have a headache the entire next two days or can’t seem to wake up and am drowsy the entire next day.  One of the things I like about weekends is that I don’t have to set my alarm clock and when I go back to sleep I can actually sleep as long as I need to sleep so that when I wake up naturally I’m actually well rested.
