Not sure what to try differently this afternoon/evening to try to avoid a repeat of last night. (One thing I did do was wean myself off the allergy meds I was taking for the poison ivy; perhaps the bad dreams were partly related to a "rebound" from having done that).
Also I was buttonholed by a person yesterday with a big need to "share" lots of sad detail about a bad medical procedure; that may have contributed to the bad-kidney dream.
I don't know whether cutting quilt pieces or watching cartoons and starting a new pair of socks is more likely to help me sleep more soundly. (Though if it's the heat - well, I'll just have to wait until October. *whimper*)
I do get kind of gun-shy about sleeping after having a night of bad dreams. But I can't not sleep; tomorrow is my long day also involving fieldwork out in the hot sun.

A suggestion from a guy who teaches yoga: if you're having trouble sleeping, make yourself aware of your breathing--don't change the way you breathe or consciously take deep breaths or anything. Just be conscious of breathing in and breathing out. I tried this and found I'd fallen asleep after only a few breaths. Good luck!
