Please forgive me if there are a bazillion typos in this post. My mind’s not exactly in top shape today.
I woke up at 2 this morning and could not fall back to sleep. Of course, the harder I tried, the more wide awake I became. So frustrating.
Does this ever happen to anyone else? If it does, what do you do?
I definitely needed something to wake me up this morning. Caffeine was a no-brainer. I’m not a big coffee-drinker,which left one thing: Chocolate, of course! I took a rest day from running, which gave me ample time to cook a delicious, energy-packed breakfast:
Melted Banana Trick oatmeal.
Brownie Batter Oatmeal
- I cooked 1 serving of oats (using the “Voluminous Oatmeal” trick) with water and a pinch of salt.
- Later, I mixed it with about a tbsp of Extra Dark cocoa powder and some non-dairy milk.
- Then, I added frozen, melted banana (using the famed melted banana trick), and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- I cooked it all up, then blended a bit (but I don’t always bother blending, as I like the chew).
(My favorite caffeinated green tea, pictured below, helped!)
Kate says
When I can’t sleep I pop in a movie that I know really well so I can close my eyes and listen to it instead of watch it. Sometimes that helps. Or a bath. I’ve been known to wake up the house while running my bathwater-not a popular trick!
Naomi says
omg those oats look sooo good, way to wake me up this morning, katie!!
sorry you havent had some great nights of sleep1 what helps me is falling asleep with a fan on, sounds crazy but the noise of the fan is so soothing i just love it! helps me every night!
Eliza says
i hate waking up so so early, i wake up usually every morning at 3 am :/ but i slept till 7 3 days in a row this week, but i think that was because i was sick, but today ugh woke up at 3 am…but glad you had a delicious nourishing breakfast to get you going, chocolate for breakfast, nothing better! 🙂
and all those banana brulee photos look so good! makes me want to make your banana brulee oats tomorrow, cant believe i am not on the banan brulee bandwagon yet 😛 lol…
love you girly, enjoy your Sunday. 🙂

Kiersten says
I have a lot of problems with sleeping. I’ve learned to just adapt at this point though, so I am probably not the best person for advice. Your oatmeal sounds delicious Katie! I don’t think I’d mind staying up all night if I could treat myself to that in the morning.
Try to take it easy today and rest!
Jenny R. says
Isn’t that the worst?! I know how you feel b/c I get insomnia for like 3 months straight where I can’t fall asleep until like 4am (and then I have to wake up at 6 so 2 hrs of sleep!!) and then it will stop for like 6 months and I’ll be fine. It sucks and makes me so paranoid. The best thing to do is to get out of bed and go read a book away from your bedroom if possible. But don’t turn on a lot of lights…just maybe a lamp. I know it sounds strange.. but light interrupts our natural sleep rhythms. I gotta work on not falling asleep to the tv.
p.s. your breakkie looks really good!! I think I’m going to try that one tomrorow 😉
Jessica says
Ohmigosh brownie batter oatmeal! Sounds like dessert!
bundleofbeans says
Hey Katie!
I love reading your blog 🙂
Sorry to hear about your lack of sleep, I actually struggle with the same problem and have found that burning some lavender essential oil in my room will help me to fall into a nice, dream filled slumber.
Liz xx
Crystal says
Lack of sleep happens to me a lot.. for some reason my body doesn’t like sleep a whole lot even if I feel really tired. This week it happened to me actually, and I was so awake- I did some yoga.. There are specific poses that you can do to try and wind down- a lot of forward bends and stuff like that.. it did work somewhat- and I was able to get a couple of hours (I finally got to sleep somewhere around 4 am, but woke up at 6:30) Good luck 🙂
Abby says
A chocolate bowl of goodness. WOW, looks amazing!! I also am having trouble typing.. Im sure there will be some errors in this comment! Rest up 🙂
Mihl says
I didn’t see any typos, just some delicious foods. Waking up in the middle of the night happens quite often to me. I’m dealing with it by ignoring it. I get up and organize my bookshelf, read something, or do something else to distract me. Even if that doesn’t help I don’t have to spend the night by getting upset about not being able to sleep 🙂
Marina says
I woke up at 3 this night, and I didn’t feel like sleeping.But it’s harder to get up when you have someone by your side 🙂
Next time, try some warm beverage, I like warm milk with some carbs. It always helps me sleep better
Katharina says
That happened to me the other day. I woke up at 3 am and could NOT go back to sleep. Then I eventually was able to take a 30 mins. nap. Blah!! Those banana brulees are lookin’ gooooood.
Happy Sunday to you too. It’s so beautiful out over where I’m at 😀 Hope it’s like that in Texas too!
Heather Eats Almond Butter says
Katie,
Hope you get some rest today. I usually don’t have trouble falling back asleep, but if I do, I’ll have a little snack and then read for a bit. That usually does the trick.
I want to go for a swim in that beautiful bowl of dark chocolate goodness. 🙂
balancejoyanddelicias says
unfortunately it happens to me often, maybe 2-3 times a month? when that happens, I eat some carbs, read for an hour and go back to sleep… 90% of time works. 🙂
you got a great breakkie to counteract the frustration, don’t you?
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
I just commented underneath your sweet head by 1 minute on HEABs post over there 🙂
Choco in the oats…girl, we’ve been hooking that up around here for awhile with the chocolate stevia and cocoa powder too sometimes. Soooo goood. Except ive never tried the hershey’s dark. Just regular cocoa powder. Must get on the DARK action!
xoox
thanks for entering my contest 🙂 You’re always a winner in my book 🙂
Justine says
Wow, those are some beautiful bowls of grains. I had dark chocolate Mighty Tasty Gluten Free Hot Cereal this morning and it hit the spot!!
~Justine
randomlymikey says
i love oats!!! lol hope you get some sleep girl 🙂
Jenny says
chocolate in my banana brulee oats is a problem I definitely would not mind having 🙂
ugh I hate when I cant sleep.. I feel so alone and like i’m the only person awake on earth! no lie — I’ve gotten so frustrated from not being able to sleep to the point where I’ve cried.. wish I were joking.
hope you catch mad z’s tonight Kataaaaay!
Pure2raw-twins says
Luckily for me I have been sleeping really good lately. Though, I would try reading or do some light stretching or medidation. Your chocolate bowl of goodness sounds amazing!!! 🙂
DJ says
I’m a banana hater but even so, that brownie batter oatmeal just looks so impossibly good!!
Emily says
I have been skimping on the sleep lately, too, but I’m sorry you had a restless night! Hopefully you can get some extra zzz’s tonight.
I love your chocolately oats. Glad they woke you right up. I think there’s nothing better than a little chocolate in my oats, especially if it’s dark chocolate!
Meredith says
I know exactly what you mean! Whenever I know I have to wake up early and put a lot of pressure on myself to sleep, I suddenly can’t!
Maria says
Yay for new Chocolate Covered recipes 😀 Can’t wait to see them, Katie!!!
Chocolate in oats is a brilliant way to get that much needed morning caffeine, hehe!
Shelby says
Yikes! I’m so sorry you woke up super early. I actually woke up at 6:30am today! Not fun! I wanted to sleep in like a normal teenager 🙁
Aw, thanks for posting my pic! It all looks so delish, I will have to try out the cocoa powder next!
Jess says
Mmm, delicious looking melted banana bowls! 😀
<3 jess

P.S I just posted about hug a carb month in my latest post–sorry for the confusion! It was my fault, not yours 🙂
Alisa - Frugal Foodie says

The voracious Vegan says
I hate nights like that. I’m usually a great sleeper but there are some nights, luckily very few, when it will take me an hour or two…or three to fall asleep. Pure agony!
Today is a big day around here so last night I was a bit nervous and excited so I couldn’t fall asleep and then kept waking up over and over again until my alarm finally went off at 6. Whew. Now I am debating if I should head to the gym to try to generate some energy or if I should just take the day off and lounge around. I’m thinking lounge…
That brownie batter oatmeal is beautiful! Chocolate in the morning will always do the trick!
Peanut Butter Bliss says
you are a oatie genius!! So trying this out tuesday for that cozy comforting breakfast before school 🙂
J@WholeBodyLove says
That Brownie Batter Bowl looks delectable! I love seeing creations of other bloggers! Thanks for posting mine! I definitely need to work on my oat pics.
Lara (Thinspired) says
Ok, I’m going to have to try this melted banana trick! I normally just slice some banana on top of my oats but the melting bananas and banana brulee sound lovely!
I do love cocoa powder in my oat bran but I always need something to sweeten it! I’ll have to check our your brownie batter recipe…
Whitney @ Lettuce Love says
You’re oatmeal looked yum! I hate those night when I just can’t sleep, you’re right, they are totally frustrating. Hopefully tonight is much better 🙂
Simply Life says
Wow, that’s the best looking oatmeal I’ve ever seen!
JoLynn-dreaminitvegan says
Have you tried shredded carrot and coconut in your oatmeal? I read it somewhere and they said it tastes like carrot cake. So you can try it and let us know how it tastes! lol!
wingitvegan says
Everyone jumped on the Bananawagon! Sorry you had such a bad night, that sucks! When my brain won’t stop thinking or worrying about something there is no sleeping. It’s so annoying, I wish we came with an on/off switch.
Gena says
Your brullee is making waves! Brullee, soft serve…can we start a banana club?
psychoj1 says
Yum! Your brownie oatmeal looks AMAZING!

Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
Ok this is my entry for the food scale. My computer I’m using on vacay has such a horrid screen, pretty much all I could tell is that the close up is…white. haha!
Scavenger hunt is pretty clever, love the way you think 🙂
Katrina (gluten free gidget) says

Waking Up Hungry says
I do really like some Green tea from time to time!
Kaye says
Hi Katie. I love your site.
Yerba Mate, Red Rooibos, and Green Ginger are among my staple teas. I do love a Hot Tazo Chai tea latte (Soy~of course!) from Starbucks on the weekends!
I have a tough time falling asleep usually 3 days out of the week. No T.V., music, or computer too late and no eating past 7 is very helpful, but lately I can’t seem to achieve that. No exercise or caffeine in the evening is a must. My husbands snoring is a total bother too, so I sleep on the couch usually half of the week. If all else fails I read until falling asleep.
blissfulbellas says
I love chamomile tea!! Tea is just amazing and so calming!!
-Lena

Radioactivegan says
any kind of tea is great. i tend to prefer black teas to green, but i have a weakness for all of them! I really like celestial seasonings sleepytime tea at night. maybe it’s just the picture of the snoozing bear on the box, but it really helps me feel sleepy 🙂
Yasmin says
By far the best is Harney and Son’s cinnamon spice tea from Barnes and Noble.
Liz says
I really like Celestial Seasonings’ holiday Gingerbread flavor. I also want to try their Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride next time too.
Sünne says
My favourite tea flavour as of late is Sweet Chili (licorice, cinnamon, mint, chili, …). I’m not quite that fond of berry-teas but prefer spice teas.
ilanalala says

joy says
My favorite tea is:
http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/detail.html/herbal-teas/honey-vanilla-chamomile

I love any kind of tea, let’s be honest; but lately I have been having a delicious coconut chai every morning…it’s AMAZING!
Mara says
My favorite tea is also my second favorite drink in the world (right after water) and it’s VANILLA CHAI!!! I ALWAYS drink it on the weekends when I wake up since it has caffeine and I hate coffee. I put half water and half soy or almond or coconut milk with some soy or coconut creamer on top, honey, TONS of cinnamon and it immediately makes the world seem better — I am not even kidding!
I looove tea of any kind, though. =]
christina says
my favorite tea is vanilla chai!
Marianne_Auburn says
I’m a total insomniac and once I fall asleep I wake up repeatedly. I have been loving some Celestial Seasonings peppermint tea lately (decaf!!). Everyday without fall I have a big cup!
Sarah L. says
I am a tea addict so picking a favourite is soooo hard for me. But I’d have to say it’s the “Apple Cinnamon” from David’s Tea in Toronto. It’s a mix of green and black leaves and it has this incredibly juicy, apple flavour… it tastes like drinking an apple pie. YUM!

I think I love every kind of tea, ever. haha
Chai might be my favorite though. =]

Hmm, my favorite tea…? That’s a tough question; there are so many great ones! I like mint teas, and orange spice tea, fruit teas, green teas, cinnamon tea, and lemon balm tea… I guess I’ll go with chamomile-mint. That’s pretty slurpilicious. 😀
Marina says
I love all kinds of tea. Green tea is always nice, but I enjoy herbal teas, like chamomile, lemongrass, mint…
I really love tea :))
Morgan M says
My Favorite is any variety of green tea!
MaryZ says

Katie says
I love chai tea! So yummy!
Danielle says
Hi Katie, I have really been enjoying your blog over the past few weeks. I am looking forward to trying some of the fudge baby recipes!
My favorite flavor of Cel Seas tea is Magic Mint, and Candy Cane Lane was a great find over the holidays. Another runner-up is Sleepytime tea, and Sleepytime Extra sounds really effective!
I have trouble sleeping sometimes (the problem flared up in middle school for me, too). Recently, I began taking melatonin supplements. It gives me vivid dreams, which I didn’t like in the past, but now kind of dig! (Note that melatonin should not be combined with other sleep remedies, such as valerian. But I think it would be fine with Sudoku!)
elaine says
hi katie! thanks for holding this wonderful giveaway! my favorite tea is chai. absolutely love it especially in the winter months. takes the zip out of these vicious winds!
maren says

Katherine: What About Summer? says
Favorite tea: anything hot! (what can I say, some like it hot)
Anna says
well for CS, i used to really like the Vanilla Maple tea….not sure as it’s been years. Discovered, while in england, that Pineapple Grapefruit Green tea is NOT a good combination…actually, kinda decided to stop buying boxed tea and start sampling the bulk teas…have a spicy chai, a carob rum, and this lovely rosey herbal concoction to try. great sleep aid for me is to NOT have chai before bed…silly me. and some good ol’ outdoor work helps too. problem with counting sheep is they then stop jumping over the fence or there becomes a contemplative investigation into property rights and wool ownership in a sheep grazes entirely on the neighbor’s fodder….errrr….
sara says
I love echinacea tea!
Michelle says
I love sugar cookie sleighride!

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hehe that’s cause there’s chocolate in there, right? 😉 Can’t go wrong with chocolate!! (Well maybe you can, but it’s hard.)
Raquel says
LOL, too true, ma’am!! 😀
Autumn says
This is SOOO yummy 🙂 Having it for the second time (in a week :p ) this morning in celebration of Valentine’s Day!!! AND I’m making your cookie dough dip for my Screw Valentine’s Day Party tonight :):) Everyone absolutely LOVED it at the last event I brought it to!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL I love the idea of a Screw Valentine’s party. I’ve definitely had that type of party before… but never with such a cute name! 🙂
