Insomnia

Why is it that sleep is never elusive when one is on holiday but get to the night before you return to work and your brain decides that sleep is NOT for you! Furthermore you are kept awake by a myriad of thoughts that fly through your brain at the speed of mach one. There appears to be no point in trying to slow down the process or endeavouring to clear your head because somehow you just know that most of your efforts in those arenas would turn out to be for naught. You actually do have two or three choices but these involve elements of luck and talent and none are foolproof. If you choose the medicated path and elect to pop a few or imbibe some magical sleeping potion you must remember that the wake up is foggy and in fact the whole day could be a definite drag as you suffer the long term effects of ' les somnombules'. You might try a normal?? drink, whichever tempts you from Port to warm milk keeping in mind that the former is probably the more effective if you are under the age of 65. Personally I think that warm milk is a seniors placebo. You might be best off writing down any disturbing thoughts you might have swirling about in your mind as these are without a doubt formidable detriments to your getting a satisfying and restful sleep. Finally, you may consider a journal or a blog and quite possibly these options will turn out to be the most cathartic and sleep inducing of all the choices available in order to help you to help yourself. Bonne Nuit???
