I get into bed to awaken and out of bed to sleep.
Sometimes I've gone to bed to awaken, only to find more sleep.
Now I'm awake, but I feel so sleepy. I want to go to bed and overcome sleep. That I may never sleep again.
It's interesting that when one thinks of it, sleep is as mysterious as death, and as life. You go to sleep and you don't know that you're asleep. You wake up and you still don't know that you're asleep.
@Tycho is sleep writing.
Have you ever tried meditation, some of the well know factor that cause lack of sleep are "cold, over-thinking, hunger, noise..". You can easily eliminate this but one that is never easy is thinking/overthinking.
As @Mugundaman has put it maybe its "thinking too much". If its so one of the best solution is meditation. Meditation takes time to learn, once you good at it it really comes handy in such situations. We live in a competitive, complex world and sometime we need to calm our mind.
You can meditate while on your bed, It calms down the mind, breath and slowly you are whisked away. Sema kusnore. By the way meditation is as easy as counting your breath flows....
