Sleepless in Arkansas

Oh my, talk about not sleeping and certainly not resting.  I don't know if it's a combination of the anxiety of returning to work from medical leave and my mind just not wanting to shut down or if it's all muscle spasms I've been having.  Never the less, I am over it!  I need some sleep and more than that, good rest.  I feel like I'm dragging during the day all day and I do not like that one little bit.
My typical night goes like this... I start feeling tired around 9:30 so I start my routine of getting ready for bed.  I lay down and get cozy and then the back spasms start and move to the legs.  Once that happens I do all I can to will myself to sleep.  Then the mind starts and once that happens you can bet it will be 12:30 - 1:00 before I even start being able to wind down again.  I try to change where my thoughts are and try to force myself to think of anything that might help me clear my head and drift off to sleep and nothing works.  It's like the harder I try the worst it gets.
Ugh!  This really makes for a cranky girl the next day and I do not like being cranky.  :(
Wish me luck.  I've tried just about everything I know to try and I've had no luck.  I'm sure Tebo would love to see me finally get some rest as I am up and down all during the night and when I'm in bed, I'm tossing and turning.  Poor guy...
