It is not often, now, that I want to fall asleep and easily can't. But a recent time of ideas and thoughts and planning in the middle of the night, with a more-than-usual scheduled day ahead, had me busily buzzing and wanting to sleep. It suddenly occurred to me that my thoughts were very noisy. Hmmm. I put in some ear plugs, the wax kind. The inner noise changed. I could hear the sound of my breathing. It was soothing. And became more so. I drifted asleep.
