Coronasomnia


Apparently another side effect of a pandemic is insomnia.  One of my favorite podcasts, Radiolab, had a whole show where people who were awake in the wee hours could call in and talk about what was on their minds (you can listen here, maybe, if I've done this correctly...https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/insomnia-line).  I love this, because even when all those worries come out at 3 am, I absolutely know that I am NOT alone.  All those little and not so little worries that I can keep hidden during the day as I bustle around my world, suddenly come out at full volume while I try to sleep.   I know that thinking about gratitude can aid in both falling asleep and staying asleep.  But now as I prepare for my next workshop (on Gratitude), thinking about gratitude only makes me think about the fact that I need to work on my workshop.  So it has backfired on me a bit.  Good news is, I will most likely sleep REALLY well tonight.
