Last night I wanted to sleep. I had not slept well the night before, and the poison oak on my hands concerned me. I also had walked a while and my knee was bothering me. So I took Tylenol PM. I take this rarely because I don't want to become addicted, but I admit to liking it. I slept well, woke up and it was morning. I wanted to go back to sleep but the cats didn't want me to so I got up.

I know there are more natural ways to get to sleep at night. Not eating in the evening. Taking deep breaths. Reading affirmations. Taking some natural sleep-inducers, but right now I am not thinking what they are.

It is hard for me to "come down". I want to keep thinking. That keeps me from sleeping.
