This has been happening for about a year
now, give or take a couple of months. At
least once a month, I will have a restless
night. What I mean by that is there will
be one night each month when I will be
unable to fall asleep for unknown reasons.
I'll toss and turn all night, completely
unable to stay still and pass out. The
odd thing is that I am wide awake the next
day, despite little or no actual sleep.
I'm not worried, but i'm annoyed by it; I
hate not being able to sleep, even if I
don't feel tired when I "wake up". I had
my restless night for april last night,
and it was awful because I have a bad cold
and was forced to breathe through my
mouth. Last night, for some reason I kept
thinking about an assignment I had
finished. I wasn't worrying about
finishing it, but just thinking about it.
I couldn't stop thinking about it - the
image was just in my head, and as much as
I tried, I couldn't think of anything
different.
Random thoughts like that usually pop up
in my head on these restless nights. The
last time I experienced a restless night,
I think I had been thinking about my cat.
Not worrying about her or wondering if she
is asleep...Just thinking about her. I
couldn't even daydream, which I always do
to help me pass out - these random
thoughts just embed themselves in my brain
and refuse to allow me to think about
anything else.
Does anyone else get this? Does it sound
strange?

Not strange to me,
i used to be unable to fall asleep every
sunday nite, and sleep well on other days.
Guess what, gotta work on mondays...
Do you have a link to the pattern?
:wink:

I have yet to find a link between things
in my life and the restless nights. I've
considered things from stress to the
onslaught of my period, but the sleepless
nights come at totally random times during
the month. There is no predictable cycle
they follow.
