When I was a college student I suffered from insomnia. I went to counseling, took drugs, etc. It was a serious problem. I learned the various techniques that had to be used to be successful. Techniques such as only going to bed when you were ready to go to sleep. Giving it 20 minutes and then getting up for 1/2 hour before trying again. Using the bed only for sleep, not reading or other activities. Yadda, yadda, yadda, etc. Last night, nothing was working. I fell asleep numerous times while watching TV between 8pm and 10pm, but when I turned off the light at 10pm ready to go to sleep for real - I couldn't. I tried until 10:45, then got up and read until midnight. Finally I had success at midnight. Why would this matter? For most of you it probably wouldn't make any real difference to your day. For me, however, since I get up at 3:30 am - not falling asleep until midnight meant that I only got 3-1/2 hours of sleeep. I'm a wreck. 
On a positive note, being exceptionally tired like this might mean that I will be more open to the ideas and desires that the Creator and/or my Muse may want to place in my way. My internal dialog will be less able to place barriers between their music and my own all-too grounded brain. So some good creativity may come of this. May you be open to the inspirations of your own Muse today.
