Last night I was so wired when we got home I couldn’t sleep. So my wife heads to bed and I head to the den to launch a rescue mission to save three brave Kerbals trapped on the surface of Laythe, a moon of the gas giant Jool. This morning they are still staring at the sky wondering if help will ever arrive. Yeah, the mission failed to make a good intercept, and rather than trap another, I returned to the space center.
I prepared a cup of this herbal while trying to unwind. I learned 3 things. I have never reviewed this on my blog – how did that happen? I didn’t realize there were so many ingredients in this. And finally, I learned even with chamomile there is no point going to bed when you are awake. My brain would not shut down. Tossed half the night. Had to get up early to set up my guitar for church. Now my brain hurts.
I did enjoy the appley coconut and vanilla of this last night. Just wish it had actually put me to sleep.

I never go to bed when I’m awake, or if I find myself getting awake after getting in bed, I get up. Otherwise, I’m in a worse state than I was to begin with, because then I start stressing about that I’m not sleeping and I’m up all night. If I go do something else, I have a better chance of sleeping. Usually, something else means curling up with a book. If I watch TV or play a game, I’m way more awake. (I have to be careful, though, what book I pick. I find it works better if it’s a comfort book to re-read and not a new book, especially one with a lot going on.)
We’re such creatures of habit…family in town didn’t keep us out late, just messed with the wind-down routine and I had a beast of a time settling down. (But this sounds mighty tasty, whether or not the brain is still firing.)
I’ve been a zombie all afternoon. Fell asleep for just long enough to get a head ache. Think I’ll try this again tonight with a quiet game of solitaire.
