insomnia
About an hour ago I got in bed and was all yawny. I could barely pay attention to my TV. As soon as I turned the TV off and laid down, I was wide awake. This entry is entitled insomnia, but it is really about more than that. My body has very strange ideas on when it is a good time to get sleepy. Sometimes I wake up anywhere between 2 and 4 and can't get back to sleep for an hour or two. Sometimes I wake up at my usual time, between 6 and 7, eat breakfast and go back to bed because I just can't stay awake. Some days I take a nap or two, or three even. Some days, I'm completely useless because I just can't stay awake. Other days I am bouncing off the walls. There are always those people who think I'm on drugs. I'm not. I just have no control over by body's energy levels. I really wish I could go to sleep. I really need to be able to function tomorrow morning. Of course there is no guarantee that getting to sleep would deliver that functionality.
