Hello. It’s 1003 pm here as I write. I should be winding down and going to sleep but I can’t for some reason. I feel tired but as soon as the lights are out my eyes pop open. I just lay in the dark awake. Does that happen to you? I have tried a couple different sleep aides but none of them work not even Benadryl! I want a deep sleep with happy dreams! Some of my favorite dreams are when I get to fly. You just jump up and oops there goes gravity!
“Eyes wide shut the dark night pulls it’s strings on the curtain call of this day.”
“She closed her eyes and the sky was a brilliant blue. The sunlight was soft….no clouds. She reached her hands towards the sky and gave a little jump…up up and away she flew. “ That was what happened in one of my flying dreams .
Well I’m going to try and fall asleep again. Goodnight.
To be 
Before you close you eyes laying back look up as far as you can ( the way an eye Dr asks you to) hold that for 10 or 15 seconds. Repeat once or twice. This tires you eye muscles enough to signal your brain. Then as you fade into sleep recall, hold in mind, some lovely place you enjoy / enjoyed being. A beach, a forest, a picnic with friends. That place will accompany you to sleep.
Thank you for this suggestion. I will have to give it a try. Thanks also for the visit I enjoyed visiting your blog!
