starzkiThis insomnia crap has got to
stop. It's like I have a little alarm clock in my head that goes
off every night between 4 and 6 AM. I've gotten a little better
about convincing myself that it's okay to go back to sleep, but some
nights, it's just not happening. Then, I get to see the sunrise
and eventually get tired and go back to sleep a few minutes before my
actual alarm goes off.
Like last night/this morning: 4:26 AM, I wake up laughing because my dream was funny. I'm not complaining about that, but a few of the actors from House were in it and it was a murder mystery that I actually solved in my dream. It was fun. But then I woke up and started thinking about the TV show House and my brain got really interested and didn't let it go, thinking about all of the past storylines. Around 4:48 AM I figured out that I was having a bout of insomnia and I went and drank some of my Sleepytime Tea. I was back in bed by 4:57 AM. At 5:26 I realized that the tea wasn't working. So I got up and made another cup and gave the damn dog a tranquilizer so that I could sleep. (He was having insomnia, too.) It actually worked, though. Pups was asleep by 6 AM and I followed shortly thereafter. So I only really lost an hour and a half. But it's so annoying. And I don't think I should keep drugging my dog just to give myself peace of mind.
And now I'm tired and apprehensive about tonight. Will I sleep? I become so useless when I'm tired. I can't figure out any pattern to the nights I sleep and those I don't. It just doesn't make sense.
