is it insomnia when...?

[sergebroom]

Is it insomnia when you wake up at ungodly hours and can't go back to sleep (or don't even try to) because you have so much to do, either at the office and/or at home?

For example, I got up at 3am today because my parents-in-law will be visiting us from California this coming weekend. There are still quite a few things for me to do around the house now that the contractors are done replacing the carpeting with hardwood flooring. The next evenings are going to be busy. And stuff that can't be done until the last minute means I have to take Thursday morning off from office work. As we all know, in Corporate America, every hour that you take off winds up having to be made up for by 2 extra hours of work.

This is why today started with my folding and putting away this huge stack of clean laundry on the dining-room table. Now that I am metaphorically chained to my desk, I must determine which task must be dealt with first.

But first, a cup of coffee.
Instant wanna-be coffee.
