Blogging as an outlet for sleep

I've been going through so much emotional upheaval lately that I've been having problems falling asleep.  Firstly, I stay up way too late due to more pressing relationship priorities.  Secondly, once I do attempt to fall asleep, it doesn't come.

What happens to me when I lie there, unable to sleep.  My mind spins at 100 rpm.  It wanders through all the various thoughts, emotions, goals, failures, successes of the day.

I have a hypothesis that if I get up and write it all out, my mind will be at peace.  So, tonight, if I lay my head on my pillow and fail to sleep, then I will get up and write, then go back to sleep.  Hopefully dreamless bliss will then overtake me.
