Perhaps a cup of herbal tea, and a cozy blanket. It helps to raise your body temperature and that makes you sleepy.
I can't sleep either, but for some reason I'm feeling hungry and tired now....
Actually, I'm hoping that I will continue the dream I was having when DH woke me at 6:30 this a.m. All I can remember is that someone in the dream had an orange gift bag. I was just about to see what was in it, when he woke me. Don't ya hate that!? What was in the bag?? Arrrrgggg!!
