I don’t know what my problem is, but I’ve been having regular bouts of insomnia for the last few months. I’ll sleep fine for a few weeks, and then I’ll have a night or a couple of nights where I can barely sleep at all. This seems to be one of those weeks — Sunday night I couldn’t fall asleep until about 4:00. On Monday night I slept fine, but then last night I spent most of the night awake. I didn’t look at a clock once, because clock-watching supposedly just stresses you out when you’re trying to fall asleep, so I don’t know exactly when I slept, but I know I did for a little bit, because I remember dreaming. But I didn’t sleep much. It was a peaceful insomnia, though. For the most part I lay in bed, not feeling particularly tired but feeling very relaxed.

Except today I feel like crap.

I’m pretty sure one of the culprits is our bed. Our bedroom is tiny, not really big enough for a queen-size mattress, so we have a full-size. And the mattress sucks — it’s basically poor-quality foam, so anytime one of us moves around in bed, the other one feels it. There are plenty of nights when I sleep fine, though, so I don’t know.

At any rate, we’re moving next week (same neighborhood, a few blocks away), and our new bedroom is big enough for a larger bed. Our new queen-size bed, with a more stable mattress, is already set up there. I look forward to sleeping on it.
