I usually have no problem falling asleep at night.  Twenty minutes after my head hits the pillow, I'm history.  But last night was awful.  I went to bed at 10, but couldn't seem to fall asleep.  As I tossed and turned, I started developing a headache.  Usually when I get a headache, I go to sleep and that'll take care of it, but since I couldn't fall asleep, my headache got worse til it felt like there were shards of glass bouncing around in my head and poking my eyeballs.   Finally, a little after one, I got up and took some asprin.  We were out of melatonin, which I've had to use once before and discovered works, so I was out of luck there.  We did have some sleeping pills that hubby'll use on occasion, but since I've never taken a sleeping pill in my life I didn't know how my body was going to react.  I needed to be up in 5 hours to get #4 off to school and I didn't want it to put me out so deeply I didn't hear the alarm ring or something.  So, I skipped on the sleeping pills and finally, around 2:30, I finally fell asleep.  I didn't take a nap or anything today, so I'm pretty tired and I still have a little bit of last nights headache hanging on.  So I'll probably take an asprin and a melatonin (I bought some today) before I even crawl in to bed tonight.  I don't want to wake up late tomorrow and not get the kids to school, I've been looking forward to getting rid of them all week.

I hope you feel better soon, DD, and shake that headache.
