Why I don't sleep

It's 1:25. I was tired at 8:00, but managed to stave the urge to collapse off until I'd finished eating dinner with my mom, then I had a bath and by 10pm was in bed.
I tried to fall asleep. Really, I did. I have a doctors appointment at 10 am, and I'm going to have a busy weekend, so sleep is really a good idea. I had PT and walked a couple miles, plus the usual poi etc so I should be tired. I am tired.
But I can't sleep. I'm fidgity. I lie in bed and close my eyes and can't get comfortable. I get up, read my book, try again to sleep. No luck. I listen to meditation tapes, mere minutes in I'm literally twitching. I can't relax. My head is starting to hurt. Normally, I'd get out of bed, go downstairs, get a drink (I know it sounds crazy, but a coke would really help). Maybe do my belly dance or some yoga, see if I can get my body to relax. But that would wake my mom. So 3 1/2 hours after getting into bed, I am still in it, awake and *itchy* and increasingly concerned that the weekend will suck if I only sleep 7 hours (which is about the most I could get, even if I fall asleep right now.
F my life
