Have you ever stared at the ceiling even though you are exhausted?
Oh yes, that happens to me. I have too many things spinning around in my head. I think that's a standard issue insomnia for most folks, lol.
I've begun to get up and work during those sleepless hours. I've found I am extremely productive. Go figure. The least I can do is download my brain and the best thing that has ever happened is finishing a book.
Sometimes rest is getting up and giving yourself permission to finish what is on your mind. The next night comes and I'm zonked!
Does that work for you?
I posted on dealing with nightmares on my personal blog on March 27th. Come and visit. Please add your ideas too.
(Or you could just have a pillow fight like we did at the last ACFW conference!)

Must be in the air. I just experienced a sleepless night two nights ago. By 3:30 am I gave up on getting back to sleep, and got up and wrote. Even created a poem for my blog about it and posted it that night.
You're so right, sometimes you just need to release your thoughts on paper, or keyboard to discover rest again.
I guess, it's just normal for us writers to feel restless or have many sleepless nights. Even if I'm just writing short essays, I feel this. What I usually do is to take advantage of my awake "writer's mind" and true enough, I'm productive.
Well now, at least I am in good company:-)
Thanks,
Angie
