Can't Sleep

Tonight it is because I tried to go to sleep 2 hours earlier than I have been going to sleep the past week or so. I got on the computer, because I thought it might help me, and it seems to already be serving its purpose, though I am now realizing that I am really hungry, so I may need to eat something before I go to sleep. Also I think it is going to be hard to get to bed much earlier than 1am when I am running until 9:30pm. It is too hot here to run any earlier. I was running in the mornings, but then I ended up with headaches all day because of the heat. Perhaps I am doomed to sleep from 1am-10am. But even getting up at 10 would be better than 11:30/noon as I have been lately. I end up with such a short amount of time where I feel free to do things, because then after 10:30/11 at night, Carol has gone to bed and so I don't want to wake her up doing anything that might be loud.

Anyway, I am tired, but not tired enough to fall asleep. I did have some good thinking time, though. That is one thing I like about going to bed before I am dead tired. I get to think about a lot of things. That is often when I come up with new ideas for stories or worlds or settings. Maybe if I start freewriting a little again I'll get more inspiration coming to me at night. It is odd, because as soon as I have a really good idea, I find it so much easier to sleep, because I am looking forward to writing about it, but not so jazzed up about it that I can't sleep.

Well...Janardan just stirred. I think my typing may interrupt his sleep. So goodnight blogosphere, sleep tight.
