Insomnia

Last night I suffered from insomnia (sleeplessness). Funny how all these conditions end with "-nia" must be some Latin root?

I lay in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, I woke up to go to the toilet and although I was tired I just could not get back to sleep. So I got up at 4.40am and read the bible and prayed. Went back to bed at 5.30am and slept til 7 am. This afternoon I had a 1-2 hour nap.

Tempted to take the sleeping tablets but don't want to be in a daze tomorrow. I think I will stay off it. Praying for a good nights' sleep.

Psalm 4:8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
