I can't ever get to sleep when I want to.

Well, it is 2:22 a.m. and here I am awake as I can be. There are a ton of reasons why I can't ever get to sleep at night but I'll just name a few.

My medicine keeps me up.

I can't take a sleeping pill with my anxiety pill so its either sleep and have nightmares, or don't sleep but be semi-relaxed for a few hours.

The idiotic part of my brain that hates me tells my body that I don't deserve sleep because it will make me feel better. (Most of me knows and believes I deserve to feel good a lot of the time)

Sometimes I have a crazy feeling that landslug will die in his sleep so I stay awake with my hand on his chest to make sure he's still breathing. (He's not even sick.)

I do not go to bed at the same time every night or wake up at the same time every day.

I guess that's enough of an explanation for now. I'm going to go read "Memories and Hallucinations" by D.M. Thomas now. Maybe that will get me sleepy.
