A lack of Sleep July 5, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : I dream of sleep , trackbackFor almost a week now, I haven’t been sleeping. That’s not true. I sleep, but it takes hours to fall asleep.
I don’t understand it.
At first, I thought it was because I hurt my back. And the back hurt my legs. And I was aware of my legs at night.
I tried benedryl. I tried alcohol (which worked, but I don’t drink much). I tried a new age Zen music (at least then I was awake and not panicky)
I don’t know why this is happening, but I have a flight at 5am tomorrow. I have to get myself up at 3 and out by 3:30. And how do I do this when I can’t fall asleep until 1-2am?
I wonder if my body is finally caught up on sleep and is okay with 6 hours a night now. I can’t imagine that is it as I am exhausted now and it is 3:30pm.
I hope I figure this out soon. Not sleeping is tough
Sigh…

Aw man, that sucks. It’s one thing when you’re sleep-deprived because your kids needed you, but when they are sleeping peacefully and you’re tossing and turning…it’s like a cruel joke! Hope you figure out what’s keeping you up.
