Losing Sleep

I never have trouble sleeping. My wife will tell you that I can say goodnight, lay my head on the pillow, and be snoring within a few seconds. For the most part, I can sleep deeply all through the night until my alarm wakes me up the next morning. It's VERY rare that I have trouble sleeping. The last few days, though, I've noticed an alarming trend. I'm not sleeping very well. Work is getting very busy. We are right upon our go-live date for the new system implementation and there is still so much to do. On top of that, I now have more people reporting to me than I have ever had before in my working life. Keeping other people busy is a very time consuming task. Don't get me wrong. I love leading people. It's what I do well. But, man...is it time consuming. I'm pretty much the only one on my campus that does what I do (document imaging management). The other campuses (Boulder, Colorado Springs) have at least two people doing what I do (usually a technical person and a functional person). So, there's a lot of weight on my shoulders. I do have help when I need it. There are some wonderfully intelligent people in my office who are usually willing to help me when I get stuck or need more info. However, these same people are also buried in their own work. It's a stressful time for many of us. What I am now noticing in regards to my sleep habits is that I wake up in the middle of the night or very early in the morning and my mind starts whirling with all of the things that need to be done. I try to push it from my mind and think about other things, but it always comes back. For me, work is one GIANT to-do list and my mind knows it. Even though I realize that there is nothing I can do about that to-do list at 2am when I am in my bed listening to my wife breathing softly, my mind keeps going. And going...and going...and going....and going. I don't like this. I prefer sleeping soundly and deeply all through the night. I'm hoping that things will return to normal for me at work and during sleep.
