It almost always takes me much more than an hour of laying in bed before I get to sleep, many times more than two hours. I honestly thought that GTD would help with that by clearing my mind of a lot of things, but that hasn't been the case. The thought has even crossed my mind (while laying in bed trying to sleep) that GTD may have had the reverse effect by allowing my mind to think of new things! I have taken to watching a lot of TV while trying to fall asleep, but that often seems unfair for my wife. It seems that she notices when I finally turn it off which leads me to believe that she hasn't been sleeping really soundly while I had it on. I wish that I could help with this matter, but instead I'll just let you know that you aren't the only one out there. And I'll keep checking to see if anyone else has a good solution.

I would then skip school the next day. I know this isn't the best solution, but it is what I did. Eventually, I would get out of my slump and realize I need to do better things with my time and I would go back to school revitalized.
