It's Official...

I can no longer sleep. I am having the hardest time falling asleep this past week. Everytime I try, my mind starts to go crazy with thoughts of what needs to be done. I cannot go on the next 89 days with a few hours of sleep... Does anyone have any ideas?

Write down everything that is on your mind. Just make a list until you can't think of anything else. I would do this everynight because I was having so many problems sleeping. Also, have a slug of alcohol to take the edge off! (Just kidding)

Seriously, writing it down helps me a lot. Otherwise I can stay up all night worrying. Also, Tylenol PM is supposed to be good and non-addictive. I haven't tried it personally but I have heard it is good.

It happened to me too around the time we were getting the invitations out. Then it got better. Then 2 weeks before the wedding both of us weren't sleeping and just thinking about everything.

We started writing a list of things to do everyday up until the wedding. This helped us prioritize because there were certain things that needed to be done 10 days before the wedding, some 3 days before, and so on. It was nice to have a 2 week calendar with everything written on there. Crossing those things off was the greatest feeling.
