I’m getting really tired of this.
For the past several weeks, I’ve been channel surfing through the infomercials about colon cleansers and flip-flop ladders, looking up stuff on the internet I care nothing about, colon cleanser checking out new blogs (OK, that one IS fun), getting angry with myself, and tossing and turning until the TV goes back on again.
I’m not exactly sure why, but on average, I’ve been sleeping about an hour and a half a night. It’s catching up to me.
For the past three days, I’ve had a killer headache, and I know it’s from lack of sleep. Yes, I have a cold; my glands are so swollen I can barely breathe, and the earache extends down the throat, but the pain is on the top left side of my head.
I’m not drinking nearly as much coffee or other caffeinated drinks as I usually do, either — especially after dinnertime. I’m just getting sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I’ve been having trouble falling asleep as well the last few days, it does suck, no doubt about that!
I tend to get meaner than a two-headed snake when I’m this sleep deprived, too — so please forgive me for any social faux pas I might make….;-)
I wish I could offer suggestions, but nothing works for me when insomnia hits. It seems to come out of nowhere, although, there have been times when I’ve wondered if it’s associated with PMS.
Believe me, Lynne, I’m open to any and all suggestions at this point. I’m pretty sure it’s NOT PMS, though — I haven’t been able to blame that one for a few years now!
