Insomnia

I don't know about you, but there are many nights that I lay awake. My mind racing with thoughts.

I don't know why but I can't get it to stop. And it isn't about anything in particular. Just random thoughts.

Does anyone know why this happens? If so, does anyone know how to stop it? And if you can get it to stop, why can't I?

Night after night it is always the same damn thing. I lay there, waiting for sleep. But it alludes me, and that makes my brain work even harder.

"Why can't I sleep?" I think to myself. "Why won't my brain stop?"

It is at that point that I realize that I have entered a vicious cycle. I am now thinking about why I can't stop thinking...

A useless effort if there ever was one.

But I guess that this will have to continue. I am doomed to the sleepless nights of a creative, over-thinking, realist, hopless romantic...

I really was just talking to Frisco about thinking myself into what I call an infinite loop. I was stressing about something and then I became so stressed that I started stressing about the fact that I was stressing.

It happens... it is so amazing how the human mind works sometimes... the ability to trick itself into an, as you say "infinate loop" of stress... or thoughts... or anything really...
