I Have Insomnia

*sigh* I really wish I could sleep on a regular schedule. It seems the older I get,the less my mind wants to shut down. If the thoughts weren't so dark, I would maybe welcome them, but tonight, they suck.
I miss my daughter, I miss...me. I miss the appeal life held for me when I was younger. Now that I'm old, I pretty much feel there's nothing left. I hate nights like this, and they're happening way too often.

You need to find a hobby that catches your attention, pick something athletic that has you building some muscles instead of losing them each year. As we get older we have to work harder and harder. I hope you find your magic soon.

Muscles have nothing to do with sleep lol.

You need muscles so you can tire them out, then you will sleep. If you spend all day doing nothing, at the end of it you will want to remain awake.

You do not need to accept my advice naturally. Best wishes.

@AdventureRider: I am a hospice nurse's aide. I hardly think THAT is "doing nothing." 🙄
