X-Factor Week # 4, Take # 2

[Guest guest]

I think it is, in part, due to having trouble staying asleep during the night. I'm not really sure why.....I haven't really changed any of my habits and although I'm a coffee hound, I generally stop before lunch and I don't drink or eat anything else w/ caffeine.....for the rest of the day. I feel like I can nap, right now!Oh well -I'll toss it up to things just being weird in my body.
