It Was A Sleepless Night

Usually it takes me hardly 5-7 minutes to go fast asleep after I lie on my bed at night.
But what happened last night was unusual.
I was very much tired ,completely exhausted.I lay on my bed and closed my eyes.But,I don't know how and when,a disturbing thought sneaked into my mind.I found myself thinking about a family dispute.
My mind was alert now.Sleep became elusive and I spent the whole night restlessly changing sides.
Early in the morning I left bed with a tired and disturbed mind.
I have taken a break from my office today and am now relaxing.

@anil02 Then my polite suggestion is,please take some physical exercise,do yoga or at least start walking 5000-7000 steps everyday.Believe me,results will be amazing.Please,do and see for yourself.

@anil02 I understand.Some of my friends also can't sleep quickly.If you are physically tired, you can fall asleep minutes after lying on your bed.

I hope you are able to sleep well today. Sometimes we get helpless in such situations

I can not sleep when I'm tired, when I need to go on a trip or when I have some worries

@LowRiderX I can sleep easily and quickly when I am tired,but not when I am worried or if I have to leave for somewhere the next day.

@MGjhaud Each one of us their own strategy to deal with such situations.You leave bed and eat something whereas I get up and start reading fairy tales or jungle adventures to divert my attention.

Was it because it was too hot.
May be you can try some green tea.

There must've been something that bothered you, I'd think.

@yanzalong I suddenly started thinking about a dispute in our family and that left me restless.

Too much exhaustion can sometimes make us insomnia but you mentioned being troubled by a family dispute and that could have been the cause plus the exhaustion.

@toniganzon Yes,that was the reason.The thought of that problem sneaked into my mind and I lost my sleep.Otherwise I enjoy a sound sleep every night.

I have found at times when I was really exhausted that I still could not fall asleep right away.

I thought if I was really tired I could sleep but it turns out that I could not.
