I took Melatonin for the first time last night to see if I could sleep the whole night.

A very small dose 1/2 of a 3 mg pill.

I must have slept well because today I ...

• powercleaned our preschool, including steaming the floors.
• shoppped for dinner.
• shopped for Christmas presents.
• shopped for preschool art supplies.
• moved furniture around.
• laundry, laundry, laundry.
• shoveled the driveway & sidewalks.
• vacuumed, vacuumed, vacuumed.
• cleaned out our bathroom cupboard.
• recycled & gathered items for donation to our local thrift store.
• put my scrapbooking/art studio back together after my dh finished installing the wood floors.
• started reorganizing our new "library" so he can install the wood floors in there as well.
• organized the linen cupboard.
• organized my closet.
• praised dh deeply for organizing his very messy closet.
• steamcleaned the antique carpet in our living room.
• steamcleaned the mats for our SUV that goes back to the dealership.
• wrote my task list for the week.
• sent a million emails.
• okay, I only sent a few but it felt like a million because several of them had a million addresses bcc'd.
• hung this picture in our brand new, freshly painted, reorganized & comfy master bedroom:

Matches our bedding beautifully. Our quilt has the same colors & we've done our walls in sage green, with white trim, wood floors & antique furniture. New wide white blinds but I still need to figure out a curtain for either side of the window. Just found the perfect fabric for the dining room windows, so I feel inspired now to find the perfect fabric for the master bedroom window.

Sigh. More shopping ...

I'm going to try the Melatonin for at least a solid week before I make any judgements but if today is any indication of how well I could feel & perform if I slept a full night, then I'm totally addicted ...
