Why Insomnia, why?

I am not going to lie, i have been on the struggle bus lately when it comes to sleep. I will be really tired and ready for bed, get my evening routine started, get ready, and in bed. Then boom, the thoughts start, or my eyes just can't seem to close.

Last night it was because I had gone live in a Facebook party and made three different drinks and had to consume them before bed. Then my stomach was very unhappy with me. Needless to say, I won't do that again.

I have tried shutting things down early, getting my journal out, and doing a brain dump, yet still, the weight of everyday life seems to keep my brain awake.

I have tried supplements, sleepy teas, deep breathing, you name it, I have tried it. If this doesn't change soon I will need to contact my Dr about getting something to help.

I am pretty sure this is a behavior problem. I am not taking care of my mental health the way I should be. I have been allowing the worries of this world to weigh me down instead of praying and giving them all to God.

I really do know that is the answer. For some reason, I have not done the things I truly need to.

So here is what I am going to do tonight. I am going to shut down the screens, get in bed with my journal, and do a brain dump of all I need to do tomorrow. Then I will pull out my devotional Bible and spend some time in prayer.

That should reset my thinking and allow me to get the rest I really need. I will let you know how it goes. Time to get off the struggle bus!
