* That the problems of the world can't be solved at 2:30 a.m.
* That practicing relaxation may not bring sleep, but will provide some additional rest.
* That God might be teaching patience in frustrating circumstances over which one has little to no control, like falling asleep on command.
* That this, too, shall pass. The urge and need to sleep is an overwhelming one. No matter how severe the insomnia, eventually, everyone does sleep.
* That it is possible to function, and function well, on less than optimal sleep, especially when not self-inflicted.
* That I now have plenty of time to get that project done that I worried over not having enough time to accomplish (typed with a touch of sarcasm).
* That God invented caffeine for a reason.
* That my sleeping bag will feel totally awesome at the end of today.
* That power naps are golden...and that rejuvenation and increased productivity come from taking pauses in the day, not charging full speed ahead 24/7.
* To thank God for the gifts of full nights of rested sleep when they do occur AND
* For the insights that work their way into my brain in that area between alertness and "can't quite get back to sleep."
* That I probably have plenty of company.
* That, for whatever reason unbeknownst to me, I'm where God wants me in this moment, and that no greater blessing exists for me than to be in God's will.
