O Mary Magdalene, Paschal messenger and Apostle to the Apostles; Thy weeping in the garden hath been turned to joy, and thy myrrh hath become a holy chrism: Pray for us, that we also might encounter and trust in the Risen Christ, who maketh the tomb a bridal chamber for his Church, and hast taken away the sins of the world. Amen.

This is awful, really. But before I fall asleep? If anyone might be thinking of me.
Way to go, ego.
Mine is more or less the opposite. I'm the person thinking of someone else. And I still haven't told her.
"If I fall asleep right now I can still get five good hours."
"There are still four and a half hours before I have to wake up. If I go to sleep now, it'll be just enough."
"If I can just get to sleep RIGHT THIS SECOND I will get a full three and a half hours and that's enough to at least get through."
"Two and a half hours is still a good nap, it'll make it possible to function, it's fine, I just need to fall asleep and it'll be okay."
Thanks guys.
Oh LGSG I can definitely relate! It seems like the more you think about it, the harder it is to fall asleep!
I often find myself in a similar frame of mind as LGSG... But usually only when I am going to bed much later than I ought to be.
More often than not, my final thoughts before bed are focused on the things I was able to accomplish - or not accomplish - during the day, my relationships with others, what I want to do with the next day... Sometimes what I dread or look forward to doing in days to come. At some point, I have to think through these things to clear them from my mind to prepare me for sleep.
Waking is a very slow process for me... I spend most of that time thinking about how much I do not want to have to get out of bed.
