I’ve got sleep on the brain…
and that’s pretty much where it seems to stay lately.
Sleep deprivation from hell, thy name is insomnia.
On the positive side…
Since it is almost Halloween, I figure this zombie/walking-corpse look will be in fashion soon enough.
In the meantime, here’s proof that there is indeed humor even in sleepless situations:
(Much like a tormentous older sibling, it’s a cruel joke between the brain and body that apparently never gets old.)
(Another fun alternative: One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sam I am! Today is your day! Make that cat go away! Tell that Cat in the Hat you do not want to play! Oh, the places you’ll go!)
(Nothing beats waking up and starting the day after a refreshing few seconds of sleep!)
(Is this true? Hell, even if it’s not, I’m gonna start using this line on my boys ASAP.)
(Counting sheep doesn’t work for me, and crying takes too much effort. What to do?)
(It’s probably just the reflection in the mirror, but how is it moving so much faster than me?)
( Reboot, reboot, reboot!)
(Right, because telling myself to close my eyes and claim that remaining 2 hours and 36 minutes of available sleep time will magically do the trick after those previous 83 failed attempts.)
(But by that point, will we even recognize each other anymore?)
(I don’t do normal very well, so in an effort to be unique, my body insists on subsisting on no more than twelve minutes of sleep.)
(Ah, blue! No, black! No, wait! Green! Ok, ok. Enough of this crap. Let’s just stick with black. It is the color of mystery…right?)
(While neither of my kids qualify as babies anymore, it’s true that once you become a parent, you will never sleep again. Let that sink in for a moment…)
Still can’t sleep?
Make a puppet show!
With socks!
No, not for the kids.
They’ve been asleep for hours.
Hey, what do you think you’re doing?
Wake up!
Insomnia is calling!
~Happy Friday, friends! Hope your week has been wonderful!~
comically quirky 
Lol😆😀😁😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haha! No, it’s really not so bad! I have two kids, and I manage to…sleep…well, occasionally.
Maybe.
Ok, so this probably is not helping my case. 😛

I am asleep 30 seconds after my head hits the pillow. Or during the most climactic scene of a movie or TV show. My sympathies to you, though. Hope you find something that helps. 🙂

Ah, that is not good. My sister suffers dreadfully with this, and so I can relate to the walking zombie look. Hoping Nod comes and visits you soon for a substantial period of time.

Thanks! Fortunately, Nod does indeed come sporadically. Now the key is to get to the Land of Nod and stay there.

It’s good to know I’m not the only one who can struggle to keep my eyes open…. then go to bed and suddenly be the most wide awake and alert person in the world. Maybe I should just start sleeping at my computer…

Meditation is always a good solution. I’ve been trying to unwind by reading Garfield comics, and it has actually been working fairly well. 😛
