Sleepy...you're getting sleeeeppppyyyy

If that weren't the truth...if only I could fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed. They (the experts) say you're to create a pattern of preparing for sleep or sleep hygiene...well it doesn't work well for me. First of all, I usually go to bed when I my husband does which I'm more of a night person and 10:30 pm is a little early for my brain to shut down. I usually don't fall asleep for at least another hour or two depending on what I did during the day. I don't know about anyone else's days but I rehash everything I did that day -- good or bad, and then critique how awful I did something or didn't do. I know that's not health. I know I'm creating my own negative thoughts...trying to work on changing that but it doesn't seem to happen every time. I just wish there was a magical switch that I could say ok brain you've had your fun for tonight...GO TO SLEEP! NOW!! or else!
