Day 86, Prompt: Midnight - 5 Minute Freewrite Challange
After midnight things start to come alive, espically my brain. My thoughts bump into one another, and I'm unable to think clearly. It happens as soon as I try to sleep, it's almost like my thoughts do it on purpose. They know I need to sleep and that's just the perfect time for them to all start speaking at once.
I get distracted by everything. The faintest sound will keep me awake. I don't know why, but I've always been this way. I'm jealous of people who can drift off easily and are heavy sleepers. I will look up at my ceiling hoping to fall asleep, but no matter how many sheep I count, I cannot. I will stare into the darkness until my body can't take it any longer and will finally allow me to rest.
After midnight is the worst part of my day, what's yours?

Those that can sleep when their heads hit the pillow are SO lucky! Has counting sheep ever worked for anyone?
Today I am traveling from the town of Freewrite, delivering the latest of the Goddess Marianne's prompts accompanied with the musical honk of my bicycle's horn!

One of life's conundrums. The more you want to fall asleep the more awake you are. When I want to stay awake to read or watch something, I fall asleep right away.
Good job @mel1ss, I liked it 😁
Thank you @jbcoin 😊

Great post. I know what you mean. The moment your body wants to sleep, your mind goes into overdrive.
Exactly right!
