I’m slipping down the slope into another bout of insomnia. This only happens to me every couple years or so, but when it does it is so miserable.

I finally get wound up around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon. Then bedtime comes and I can’t sleep. I stay up late. I get in bed and still can’t sleep. Inevitably, I fall asleep an hour or two before I have to get up (alarm rings at 6:10 AM). Then I wake up late and make T late for school. I drag my ass into work and drink lots of coffee. Then I finally get fired up around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon… etc, so forth and so on. Eventually, I get so tired that I never feel awake or motivated, but I still don’t get tired enough to go to sleep at night!

Sleep deprivation gives me terrible headaches. AND I’m allergic to Ambien. My doc prescribed it once about 6 years ago. It made me super happy when I first took it and I slept REALLY well for a couple nights, but then I had a reaction to it and had to stop.
That WHOLE post was just part of me filling time while I can’t sleep. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Snick’s even given up on me and gotten in bed with T.

OK. I’m at least going to go not sleep in the warm soft bed instead of not sleeping in front of the computer.
