Does this happen to you? Those who know me know that I have a very active mind, and that is a good thing for the most part, because it leads me to do some fun and interesting things. However, there is a downside to it too. It interrupts my sleep! If I wake up during the night and my mind wakes up too, then I am through sleeping, for awhile at least. When I was writing my first book I would wake up, think about it a little bit, and I felt like I should get up and write before I lost my train of thought. Often that occurred at three oclock in the morning! Of course I was pretty excited about that project so I didnt mind. Many times I would notice it was getting light outside and realize that I had been writing five hours! That is why I finished that five hundred page book in just four months! We all have different things that cause our minds to wake up. Sometimes its concerns and sometimes its just enthusiasm for something you are planning to do the next day. The only antidote I know that seems to work consistently is this - I pray! I will start saying a Rosary, and before I am halfway through it I drift back off to sleep. But thats okay because, as legend has it, the Angels finish the Rosary for us when that happens. A lot of you complain here on Facebook that you were up in the middle of the night. Just know you are not alone!
