Insomnia

From Jorge Cham's Ph.D. Comics (one of the BEST things ever if you're a grad student.)

I just wrote a long, private post of a conversation/letter that I've been planning in my head for the past hour. I continue to get through books at lightning speed too because I literally read for hours at night while trying to fall asleep. I'm working out and working overtime, but seriously, I just can't get my brain to shut off and fall asleep.

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations for hypnosis or non-traumatic head injury that can help?

Seriously, it's getting exhausting and making everything more difficult. I'm not napping because I keep thinking I'm so tired during the day that if I make myself stay up until a decent time to go to sleep for the night, I'll actually go to sleep. But by then, my body seems to think it's the start of second shift and time to wake-up, not rest up...

The adventures of a twentysomething pursuing a Ph.D. in the behavioral sciences, living with the dog that is the love of my life, and battling everything from becoming an academic to small town insanity. I blog about everything related to sports, my dog, psychology and other social science stuff in the news, my dad's battle with cancer, dating in a world full of married people, and anything else I see that catches my eye!
