I have been having a bad time the last couple days with my sinuses. I was hoping it was the high pollen count down in Florida and not a cold. Anyway, my head is congested and I have a bit of a tickle in my throat causing me to cough a bit. We went to bed at the regular time... around 11:15 or so. At about 1:30, I woke up with a tickle again and had to cough a bit. I drank a little water and Shane lifted his head, and said in a slightly panicked manner, "I can't sleep."
He laid back down and tried again... moments later he was up and trying to turn on the fan over our bed. Unfortunately, the wall switch was off and when he turned it on, the light came on. We laid there some more with him tossing and turning. I could see this was not going to work. I was just listening for his sleep breathing and it never came. Normally, he can fall asleep in about 30 seconds, but he was now in worry mode that he can't fall asleep and I was worrying about him falling asleep too. Also, I have this thing that after I sleep, even for a short time, my body thinks I was just taking a nap and it is time to get up. I soon realized I wasn't going to be sleeping anymore tonight. I got up and took the laptop downstairs and began surfing the web.
My head is still congested and I'm starting to think this is a cold, not just from pollen. I hope Shane was able to finally get to sleep. He was worried about a big writing project he needed to get completed by Wednesday. We just need to get through this day and hopefully, we will sleep well tonight.

There is nothing I hate more than not being able to sleep. It seems the simplest of things to do....lay there....close eye....drift off...but you can't!
Arrrrggghhhh!
