Not physically tired, but mentally tired, early in the evening.  I&#8217;ve been thinking about bed as early as six at night and haven&#8217;t lasted long beyond eight thirty or nine before I succumb to the craving for REM sleep.  And when I get to sleep, I&#8217;ve been having long, vivid dreams, so intense that I&#8217;m tired when I wake up from dreaming.  I wonder what&#8217;s going on?
