I hate it when that happens!!! At least you eventually fell asleep. It is a wonderful feeling especially after you've laid awake for a long time. Although, there have been nights where I tossed for the entire 8 hours I had previous dedicated to sleep. That's poopy! I hope you never have to do that.

I can relate to curling up with the dog, my little puppy always makes me feel relaxed and safe when it's time to sleep. I get the best rest when she's there (and not fighting with me and my husband for space).
