Insomnia

For the last few weeks I’ve had some major issues with insomnia. And I am sad to report that most of my insomnia seems to be directly related to monthly hormonal issues.
I’m also sad to report that my little sister said my hormones were acting up because I am perimenopausal.
Perfect.
And I can’t believe I just put that out on the internet.
Anyway, I’m not really sure about all the reasons I’m having trouble sleeping at night (Maybe I forgot where I put my cane and my dentures!) but it gave me a lot of time to stare at the ceiling and think about life.
I made lists in my head of things I need to do, things I wish I’d done, and things that I’ll probably continue to put off indefinitely. But somewhere in the middle of my mind racing, it began to dawn on me that it was the perfect opportunity to talk to God.
(I didn’t talk out loud. That would have gotten me kicked to the couch.)
As I let my mind go, my heart began to feel His presence. And all the lists I was forming inside my head began to fade away.
What about you? What do you do when you can’t sleep at night?
