Insomnia

My family seems to think that I have Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  Since it wasn't named when I was a kid we didn't worry about it.  This time of year, when things for me to do other than sit around are limited.  I always have an overwhelming feeling of guilt because I should be doing something.  Where am I going with this?  I usually go to bed around 9.00 watch the Daily Show and drift off.  Now, I don't drift off, I just lay awake for hours.  I am not worrying about anything, I just can't go to sleep.  I have read books, which sometime help but not now.  Doreen has suggested that I listen to soothing music at bedtime, lower the lights and take some of her hokey medicine.

Most of my music is not soothing so I downloaded Bolero which is relaxing but it causes me to think of Bo Derek.  The other night I was looking for "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and oldtime favorite.  There was Johnny Cash and a bunch of others but they just didn't hit me right so I downloaded the "Outlaws" which I had never heard of but looked like a bunch of long haired freaks from the 70"s (my people).  I didn't know what to think the first time I heard it but then it attached to my brain and has been there since.  It is a combination of cowboy, the Venture's Fender guitars of the 60's and a rock band combined.  I still don't sleep at night.
