Insomnia Post

The downside to falling asleep early is waking up in the middle of the night, restless and feeling like I have to get up and be productive. It’s currently 2am and this is my second blog post this week, even though my aim was to post once a week. I’m not the best at winding down and part of the reason is that my mind is constantly racing with a running to do list. The new year is fast approaching and I’m starting to feel the pressure to end this year on a high note. I have some travel booked (another insomnia related impulsive decision made in the wee hours of the morning sometime last week). Been having this itch to get out of Philly and the states for a minute. I need to hit the reset button and the new year always brings a much needed fresh start. The new job is finally starting to pick up. Been doing a lot more recruiting and interviews, so starting to build that muscle again. My social life has been picking up too since the pandemic started, although I’m beginning to feel like I need to start saying “no” more. I’m back in FOMO mode which I’m sure is due to being on lockdown for so long. It finally hit me that I’ve been doing way too much when I fell asleep during a book club meeting in the middle of a really deep discussion, yikes! I need to dial it back some.
