Heading to the hospital in five hours...can't sleep!

So I'm sitting in my hotel room, my husband asleep, and I can not sleep for anything. I have to be at the hospital at 6am and am so nervous. I am keeping in mind why I am doing this, but I'm still nervous. I have rationalized that it doesn't matter if I don't get any sleep because I will be put out tomorrow anyway when they do the surgery. It is outpatient and I should be having the surgery at 7am and released at 1pm. I'm not looking forward to the pain. I hope it's an easy surgery and recovery...if only I could sleep.....
