I was just thinking about this last night. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep on the couch with the lights and tv on and the cats running around. But when I moved to the bed in the quiet, dark bedroom I couldn't go back to sleep.

For myself, I think most of my sleepless nights are due to stress. When I do lie awake I am usually contemplating things that have happened or will happen at work. When I'm exercizing regularly, I sleep much better.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one that has trouble sleeping at night, yet can pass out in a matter of minutes in my recliner in the Gentlemen's Parlor anytime. Well, or so I thought. Last Saturday night our grandson came for his first overnight visit. His crib is set up in the GP. Without a monitor to hear him I decided to sleep in my recliner figuring I'd have no problem falling asleep. Wrong. Guess I can only sleep in it when it's daylight or I'm recovering from a hospital stay. Which is why I have my own recliner. Not to mention at those times I'm heavily drugged as well.

I wish when not being able to fall asleep I had the urge to get up and get things done around the house. Instead I lay there thinking of the weirdest things. So weird that at times I've wondered if I really was asleep having strange dreams about not being able to fall asleep and thinking of weird things while trying to doing so. Hmmmm........?

But soap packaging is often not recycleable. Liquid soap bottles can be refilled and recycled and there's no extra packaging for the bottle.
