All I want to do is hop into this bed, nestle into those soft sheets, and finally dream the night away. I have had trouble sleeping the past two weeks, mainly because I am overwhelmed with everything that’s going on at the moment. Do you ever have periods like this when all you want to do is sleep? The more I try the worse it seems to get and my head starts racing in a million different directions. It has gotten to the point where I may fall asleep but then still wake up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning for hours. Mum suggested that I drink some warm milk tonight but I reminded her that I don’t like milk. Then she proposed adding some chocolate…hmmm, now that sounds more tempting. What is your sleep remedy?
I do love the upholstered accent chair in the dreamy bedroom above. The cherie gray armchair or this black velvet armchair could be good substitutes.

Oh I so know the feeling. My mind is constantly racing with everything I have to do the next day that sometimes it’s hard to fall asleep. I always just take out a book and after a couple of chapters I find myself nodding off.

so pretty kylie! i love that black and white chair!

I know the feeling too. For a while I had to listen to Harry Potter audiotapes just to keep my mind from running around
I started meditating before bed — reflecting on my day, clearing out the noise. I hardly have trouble going to sleep anymore. Blessings.
Beautiful site, by the way!

love it! that looks like such an amazingly comfortable bedroom!

Keith — My husband, Jon, has been trying to get me to read the Harry Potter books for years. People are amazed when I tell them that I haven’t read them yet. Meditating might do the trick
Thanks for stopping by.

This happens to me when I have a lot of work to do for school. What always helps me is meditative breathing. Focus on your breathing without changing it and think “in and out, in and out”. Sometimes that does not work so I de-stress my whole body. I start at my feet and tense them up and then let go, next my calves, etc. until I reach my head and then I continue to breath. I hope this helps!

I love those chairs! I inherited some very similar from my mother, spray painted them white, and then upholstered them in white linen. I also had chair skirts made for the seats as an extra step of precaution. I love them. And pretty chairs in general. I have pictures at my blog if you would like to see them.
9 bandelle : May 12, 2009 at 8:26 pm
loveash — thank you! I am definitely going to try your breathing or de-stressing method tonight. I’ll report back here tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thank you again. I really do appreciate it.

that bedroom is heavenly!

OK, so the meditating helped but my head wanted to race into different thoughts. I did get a much better sleep though so I am going to keep practicing. Thank you for all of your suggestions. You guys and gals are the best!

Ugh, I know how you feel. I don’t sleep well especially when my head won’t calm down enough to relax. I had a boss that called it “the committee is meeting”. As in, “The committee was meeting all night last night so I didn’t sleep a wink”. Honestly, sometimes a little Tylenol PM works wonders (not every night though)!

wine always helps me! what a bedroom! i don’t even think i would need the wine if i had a bedroom like that. and the chairs are classically beautiful!
14 Courtney : May 14, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Oh, no Kylie! I do know that feeling, and I hate when my mind races and simply won’t turn off. My dad insists that tensing and relaxing your muscles starting at your feet and working your way up helps, but it only does it sometimes for me. Sometimes reading helps me (unless I get really into the book and don’t want to put it down…) but I’ve yet to discover something that is fool-proof. You’ll have to let me know if you find something that works well
Oh- and that bedroom is beautiful, and I love both the chair options you selected!! xo

I just love this room! Reading usually puts me at ease and to sleep!
17 Sarah Danielle : May 15, 2009 at 9:54 am
I understand how you feel – my advice – cut out any caffeine and switch to drinking tea. Do some yoga and read a book before bed. This will get your mind off “stuff” and focus on something else. Hope this helps! Love this boudoir!!
18 Kelley : May 15, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I have this problem too. A friend suggested taking melatonin before bed. I have just started taking it, and I’ve stopped drinking coffee after 2 pm. Seems to be helping. Good luck!
19 barb jensen : May 24, 2009 at 10:06 am
When I can’t sleep I sometimes get more and more tense worrying about how tired I will be the next day. So, I remind myself that simply lying in bed is restful too. It releases me from the counterproductive sense of urgency that can develop.
I can usually work in a quick cat nap the next day that is pretty restorative. I also recommend what others here have advised; relaxation exercises, meditation, no caffeine in the pm.
Cheers!
