Sleep, Glorious Sleep

Ahh! Yes, I did sleep until 1:00 this afternoon! Which only sounds lazy until you find out I didn't fall asleep until almost 8:00 this morning...

I don't know wtf is wrong with me. I laid around all night long, just like I have the last several nights, tossing and turning. I was too sleepy and tired to get up and do anything, but I could not fall asleep. I doze for a bit, usually plagued by bad dreams, then wake up and have to get up to do something - use the bathroom, grab a drink, grab a cookie or piece of cheese - pretty much anything. I do not get it.

I have suffered from insomnia off and on throughout my life, but not usually like this; when I've had insomnia before, I just could not sleep. It was like I just wasn't tired - I wasn't really "energized" or anything, just not sleepy. This is altogether different. I really think it has to do with my medication, but nothing's changed with it in months, so I don't really know what it could be. Maybe it's just that I'm anxious from all the changes I've been making with everything? I really don't know.

Today's pretty exciting: I am going to review some advance copies of two Image titles (I may not do both today, but I will get to one), then I am going to be working on Weird Ink and The OddBlog templates and design, and - if things work out well - there may be some new Chill content up by tonight/early tomorrow. No promises on anything except the Image review, but make sure to check out the other blogs, as things are definitely going down over there!

e, have you gone to see the local quack about it yet?

Nah, I took some prescription stuff for insomnia a few years back and it worked fine for a few months, then I got used to it. When they upped the dosage, I started getting heart palpitations!

If it gets bad enough, I'll jaunt down to the drug store and snag a box of OTC stuff, but I really think it's just because I got my days and nights turned-around and haven't gotten back on-schedule yet.

So I take it that you like me don't like doctors. Unfortunately sometimes they are necessary

Manodogs said...

No, I don't particularly care for doctors, but like I said, I think it's just because my sleep schedule got so mixed-up. If it keeps up, I guess I will have to go in and have a check-up.

I could prolly use one, anyway...

Maybe you could find some boring blog to read, either that or a chamomile tea?

3rd time lucky, the last two comments didn't go through. Maybe you should try some chamomile tea or find a really boring blog to read.

Hahaha!

You know, before I moved here, I was all into all the teas and herbs and stuff. There's a shop in Murmphis dedicated to all of that (two, actually) and I grew up reading all about them from playing D&D and all that. Vervain, Lemongrass, Chamomile, and all that stuff... but there's absolutely nowhere anywhere near where I live now to find any of that.

I may have some Chamomile in the cabinet there - I'll check. Thanks for reminding me!

I do need to catch-up on my reading...
