Night, that special time of day when all goes quiet and rest is available for the taking. It is night when we're supposed to give up all the shit that has gone on during our day. Forget about the insanity of the phones ringing, the people whining, the numbers crunching. Now is the only time that is supposed to be truly ours. If this is the time that we are supposed to use to refresh, re-juvenate, recycle as it may be... why can't I do that. My mind starts to race, I can not seem to block it out. I dwell on every minute detail of my day. It makes me crazy. It keeps me up. It makes tomorrow more difficult than it needs be.

This is going to sound really stupid, but it works for me. Play alphabet games with yourself... pick a category (place names, plants, song titles) and try to come up with a word for each letter. If you make it successfully to the end without falling asleep, do it again - same category or new. It takes enough concentration for some of the tough letters that it distracts you from whatever else is stuck in your mind but it's not actually interesting enough to keep you awake for very long.
