Trouble Sleeping

I still haven't been able to fall asleep quickly. I've never been able to fall asleep quickly. I've always been an "overthinker" and I think that makes the prospect of laying in bed at night-with nothing to do, strange. When I lay down, with the lights out, with the books put away, with the day finished, I finally get a chance to think. I get the chance to go over everything that happened today, everything that's going to happen tommorrow, and everything that's going to happen soon. I think of how tommorrow is gonna be the day I'm gonna be smooth with that cute redhead in class, all the while knowing that I'm completely incapable of being smooth. I think of how I'm going to answer questions professors are likely to pose. I think about what I'd be doing if I were in New Orleans right now. I think about what I'd be doing if I were President. My mind runs wild with all sorts of things. Hell, I think about the trades I could make in fantasy football. The problem is, no matter what time I woke up, no matter how much or little caffeine I had, no matter how hard I worked out, I still can't fall asleep. I think it's because I genuinely enjoy just thinking. Not thinking about contracts, or the theory behind civil procedure or any of that. I just like to think about life in general. I day dream at night. It's not that I can't clear my head-I could if I wanted to, I just don't want to. I think that's one of the things that was so great about drinking, I could just forget stuff at night. Not because what I was forgetting were like these traumatizing horrible things that happened to me-they weren't. Alcohol was great because it just made me not want to constantly think. I could just lay down and know that I was gonna be quickly. I've all but stopped drinking, with the acception of Fridays and the occasional beer after work. So now I'm back where I started. Not being able to sleep.
Lyric of the Day
"I'll give you a nickel for your quarter,
malt liquor for you water.
I'll leave you drunk up on the rooftop.
I'm dancing with the moon, this song is for our salvation."
-Hope For a Golden Summer, a band that'll always remind me of Athens.
