Can't sleep at all (take 2)
I was looking at my Twitter entries, and I was able to ascertain that I've had insomnia and sleepless nights since December 7th. No wonder I'm such a damn basket case. That's nearly a month with only 2 hours here and there of sleep every day. I can't think straight, I look and feel like shit, my eyes are red and burning, and not even xanax helps me to actually sleep. I'm thinking about taking a motion sickness pill, which is basically just an antihistamine, but it makes me really sleepy (don't worry, my pdoc said it was okay, as did the pharmacist.) I just hate pills, so I've been leery of doing this.
Of course, the longer I'm awake the more coffee I drink, and the more cigarettes I smoke, which are both stimulants. It's like Catch 22. I need to break this cycle, though. We drove to Renton, WA today - about a 90 min drive each way, and I was basically asleep for the entire time. I'm sure Dave had a blast. I also really need to get over my fear of the ferry so that we don't NEED to drive that far to get where we want to go...the ferry is so much faster. I really do feel bad for sort of bailing on Dave like that, though.
Any sleep suggestions would be welcomed with wide open (but sleepy) arms.
