2014 has really not gotten off to the best of starts
This week I have suffered from insomnia every single night, this morning I worked out I have averaged 2.8 hours sleep per night this week. This is due to a combination of my upstairs neighbours rattling about till all hours (nearly 5am when they called it last night) and my quirk of sleeping fine when stressed with work but lying awake when bored out of my mind at work. I am a girl who needs a challenge. Needless to say the new job search is now officially on. I feel bad to a degree about this as to give them their due my co-workers, and in particular my supervisor, have been nothing but supportive. Their support is not stopping me going slowly out of my mind though so new job it is.
I have however decided to make an appointment to speak to a GP as my insomnia is now bordering on chronic instead of occasional. While lying awake at 4am I have found lots of time to read up on latest NHS guidelines and apparently the latest thing is to refer insomniacs on for cognitive therapy and the like to try and change the fundamentally dysfunctional relationship they have with sleep. Quite frankly even a decent pair of earplugs would help.
2014 is not all doom and gloom though! There are things I'm looking forward to, honest. At the end of February is the Glasgow Film Festival and in May I'm off down to London to mooch about for a week. In July nodbear and I are going back to Glyndebourne and I am toying with an autumn trip to Berlin. I also have anteros_lmc and lonelybrit booked in for visits. So reasons to be cheerful!
