Sleep and I have an iffy relationship and I'm the one that's co-dependent, needing sleep and knowing that it doesn't need anything from me in return.<BR/><BR/>That said, I get this tea from Merz Apothecary in Lincoln Square, they also have it downtown at Marshall Field's on State. It doesn't taste great, but one cup is usually enough to quiet the radio head enough to make it just sound staticy so I can drift off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17027941.post-1152660930052397672006-07-11T19:35:00.000-04:002006-07-11T19:35:00.000-04:00oh wow, kate you are a great writer!

I'm sitting here now typing this with that feverish feeling behind my eyes because I didn't sleep much at all last night.<BR/><BR/>And one of my cats does exactly what yours does. Every night. She has a toy in her mouth when she does it, as if she's caught a juicy mouse. I read in a cat behavior book that this is mothering behavior. She's caught something and wants to bring it back to the nest and is meowing for her babies.dorothy rothschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732990831552864423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17027941.post-1152624371874099722006-07-11T09:26:00.000-04:002006-07-11T09:26:00.000-04:00kate, that was gorgeous.and toast, your descriptio...kate, that was gorgeous.<BR/><BR/>and toast, your description of "radiohead" is perfect.

It's like what you describe, only in addition to your own thoughts and songs and whatnot you start catching completely random snippets of voices? People saying things, could be from your day, could be some phrase that lodged in your brain from the radio or television, could be something your gray matter just completely made up on a lark. Sometimes, I actually like to relax into this neurological noise and just let it wash over me, like free entertainment, like listening to an old radio drifting between stations. Then, sometimes, that relaxation leads to sleep. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and if you think the tossing and turning is bad now, just wait 'til you start to approach middle age.
