Enough is Enough

Wednesday marked a month and a half since my first bad dream fiasco, and since then it has only been an ongoing, losing battle.

I've tried Sleepy Time herbal tea, reading something good before bed, watching a good movie before bed, humming a favorite hymn, making Tim stay awake until I fall asleep, falling asleep with a dim light on, sleeping with the door open, sleeping with it closed... you name it and I've checked it off the list. All to no avail.

But I am constantly exhausted and was barely making it through finals week... not to mention now the happiness of my summer vacation is at stake. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I decided to ignore studying for a while a few afternoons ago and I did a little bedroom makeover. I totally rearranged everything; moved the bed, washed all the blankets, switched the dressers, rearranged the books on the shelves, I even vacuumed everything. And wouldn't you know we are going on restful, bad-dream-free night number four. I am just as thrilled as can be. I hate to jinx it, but could it be that we may have found the cure?!
