Dream Weaver

I would not call my book a "scary" book. A "thriller"? Possibly. Of the Supernatural theme? Of course. Lately I've been having the hardest time falling asleep and staying asleep mixed with having various strange/scary dreams. I can't help but think these two may be related.

For a while now, I have given myself ample time to sleep (7-9 hrs.), with success only of about 3 total hours of actual sleep. I've been reading my book in bed until I've been too tired to keep my eyes open. Yet, when I lay falling asleep and am thinking of the story line- that's all it is! Simply thinking, "Where is this going?" So if I'm not afraid of it when I'm awake, well then of course my many, many sleepless nights cannot be related!

So what else can it be? Well, tonight I decided I would flip and rotate the mattress (all by myself!), change the sheets, and give the old room a good once over to make it feel super inviting.

It did not help.

In fact, the reason for this very blog is that I was so scared of my latest nightmare that I needed to turn on a light for a bit! So I grabbed a pen and paper from my night stand drawer (fighting the urge to pick up my book and continue where I left off) to blog on paper and transcribe to the computer later.

I guess the point is- what should I do? Blame the book? I'm on page 764 of a 945 page book so if you think I'm giving up on it now, you're crazy! But maybe I should consider some lighter bedside reading material.
