Since the social distancing started I have been struggling to fall asleep every night. It seems to be pure insomnia as I am not really thinking of anything in particular. It does give me extra time to pray, but it seems like I am unable to fall asleep before 3am. I just toss and turn.
It turns out Daniel has had the opposite problem. He has been waking up around 4am, unable to go back to sleep, tossing and turning himself. I think we have both been averaging about 4-6 hours of sleep a night when we could really use 8+.
Last night our restlessness crossed paths and we ended up talking super early in the morning. Which was a blessing. We had a chance to talk through some things we have been individually stressing about. In the wee hours of the morning it was a good chance to get on the same page about how we have been feeling and things that have been bothering us.
One thing that Daniel has really loved about being home are the opportunities he gets to have with our boys. He gets to see Jack build and engineer some amazing projects and he can cuddle with Isaac whenever he needs a pick-me-up. This made me realize how easy it is to take for granted my day-to-day life.
